Ex-Fed Chairman Bernanke visits Bank of Japan

TOKYO (Reuters) - Ben Bernanke, a former Federal Reserve chairman, visited the Bank of Japan on Monday, according to a Reuters witness.

Government sources told Reuters on Friday that Bernanke, who steered the United States through its worst financial crisis in modern times, would meet with Bank of Japan Governor Haruhiko Kuroda and Prime Minister Shinzo Abe this week.

Reuters was not immediately able to confirm whether Bernanke met with Kuroda.
