TOKYO, Feb 10 (Reuters) - Japan's Prime Minister Fumio Kishida on Friday did not answer a question about an earlier report that the government will nominate academic Kazuo Ueda as the Bank of Japan (BOJ)'s next governor. "We are making arrangements to present the BOJ governor and deputy governor nominees to the parliament on (February) 14," Kishida told reporters as he was leaving the Prime Minister's Office building, without clarifying whether Ueda had been picked as a candidate.
