The COVID-19 pandemic posed a significant challenge for Haruhiko Kuroda, the Governor of the Bank of Japan, in early 2020. The pandemic led to unprecedented changes in the economy, society, and behavioral patterns in Japan, prompting measures such as mask-wearing and vaccine imports. Despite these efforts, the spread of the virus was uncontrollable, leading the government to declare a state of emergency and restrict business operations, causing a sharp decline in demand for dining out and travel.
