(Adds possible date for lower house hearings)
TOKYO, Feb 10 (Reuters) - Japan's government will
present its nominees for the new central bank governor and two
deputies to parliament on Feb. 14, Tsuyoshi Takagi, the ruling
Liberal Democratic Party's parliament affairs chief for the
lower house, said on Friday.
The nomination needs approval by both houses of parliament,
which is a near certainty given the ruling coalition's solid
majority.
Ruling and opposition parties are considering holding
hearings for the BOJ governor and deputy governor nominees at
the lower house on Feb. 24, Jun Azumi, an executive of the
opposition Constitutional Democratic Party of Japan, told
reporters.
The upper house is also expected to hold hearings for the
nominees, though the likely date was not immediately known.
