Japanese gov't is reportedly likely to nominate Kazuo Ueda as the new BoJ Governor, via Nikkei; to nominate Himino as the new Deputy

• Japanese gov't initially approached BoJ deputy Amamiya as a possible successor but was met with a firm refusal.
• Nikkei adds: "He is also known for voting against lifting the zero interest rate policy in 2000. With the BOJ now searching for a way out of its quantitative and qualitative monetary easing efforts, Ueda's selection was likely based on his reassurance that the BOJ would not rush into a hasty exit."
