Looking at the allocation of time in my day-to-day schedule as governor, and also at the headcount for various functions, I feel that these functions as a whole are contributing to maintaining the stability of the economy and the financial system.
For instance, it is reasonable to assume that the financial sector, the car industry and the construction sector are likely to shrink. In my view, the economies that will suffer the most are those where the financial sector has expanded significantly in the last 20 years in connection with the boom in the housing sector.
