Bank of Japan Gov. Kazuo Ueda will receive a salary of 37.81 million yen in fiscal 2025, which ends this March, the central bank announced Tuesday.
Ueda's salary will rise by 4.8% from the previous year, marking the biggest hike for the bank's governor since 1998, the year the revised Bank of Japan Law went in force.
The BOJ decided to raise executive salaries after a bill to revise the law on remuneration for special personnel went into effect, having been passed in the 2025 extraordinary Diet session.
The BOJ's two deputy governors are having their salaries raised by 5.3% to 30.01 million yen, while the six Policy Board members will each receive 28.80 million yen, up 5.4%.
