TOKYO, March 9 (Reuters) - Japan's lower house of
parliament on Thursday approved the government's appointment of
Kazuo Ueda as next central bank governor.
The upper house will vote on the nomination on Friday.
Approval by the two chambers has been seen as a done deal as the
ruling coalition holds majority seats in both houses.
With the approval, Ueda will officially succeed incumbent
BOJ Governor Haruhiko Kuroda whose second, five-year term ends
on April 8.
