TOKYO (Reuters) – The chief executive of Japan’s Mizuho Bank, Koji Fujiwara, will step down as early as this month to take responsibility for a series of system failures that took place this year, the Nikkei business daily said on Thursday, without citing sources.
The Financial Services Agency is considering issuing a business improvement order to the bank as soon as next week, the newspaper also said.
