(Updates with confirmation from Reuters sources)
TOKYO, Feb 9 (Reuters) - Japan's government is planning
to present the new Bank of Japan governor nominee and two deputy
governor nominees to parliament on Feb. 14, three sources
familiar with the matter told Reuters on Thursday.
Sources have told Reuters that the timing of the official
presentation of the candidates to succeed central bank chief
Haruhiko Kuroda and his deputies would be next week.
Markets are closely watching the appointment of the new BOJ
governor for clues on how quickly the central bank could phase
out its massive stimulus.
The nominations require approval from both chambers of
parliament to take effect, which is essentially a done deal due
to the ruling coalition's solid majority in the national
legislature, the Diet.
