TOKYO, Feb 14 (Reuters) - Japan's government nominated
academic and former Bank of Japan (BOJ) board member Kazuo Ueda
to become the next central bank governor, a document submitted
to parliament showed on Tuesday.
If confirmed, Ueda would succeed Haruhiko Kuroda, whose term
ends on April 8, the document showed.
Former Financial Services Agency chief Ryozo Himino and
career central banker and BOJ executive Shinichi Uchida were
named as the two deputy governors, replacing incumbent Masayoshi
Amamiya and Masazumi Wakatabe. Their terms start on March 20.
The government's nomination needs the approval of both
houses of parliament, making it effectively a done deal since
the ruling coalition holds solid majorities in both chambers.
