Japan Macro Salon with Jesper and Bill - January 2024

For the first Macro Salon of 2024, Jesper and Bill will be joined by one of Japan's top political writers, Keiko Iizuka. As the new year begins with many questions about Japanese markets and the economy, they will discuss this alongside the current doubts surrounding the longevity of the Kishida administration following a recent spate of political financing scandals which has forced a reshuffle of the cabinet. Jesper Koll has been researching and investing in Japan since becoming a resident in 1986. Over the past two decades, Jesper has been consistently recognized as one of the top Japan strategists/economists, having worked as Chief Strategist and Head of Research for U.S. investment banks J.P. Morgan and Merrill Lynch. He currently serves as Expert Director for the Monex Group and the Japan Catalyst Fund (Japan’s 1st retail investor based corporate engagement/activist fund). His analysis and insights have earned him a position on several Japanese government and corporate advisory committees, including Tokyo Governor Yuriko Koike’s Advisory Board. Jesper serves as Board Director of OIST, the Okinawa Institute for Science and Technology and is a Founder and Board Director of the Asia Society Japan and heads their Policy Committee. He is one of the few non-Japanese members of the Keizai Doyukai, the Japan Association of Corporate Executives; and serves on the board of several Japan-based start-ups.
