Japan likely to nominate ADB's Kuroda as next BOJ head-Nikkei

TOKYO Feb 25 (Reuters) - Japan's government is likely to nominate Asian Development Bank President Haruhiko Kuroda as its next central bank governor, the Nikkei newspaper reported on Monday.

Kuroda, formerly Japan's top currency diplomat, has already been offered the post unofficially by the government, which plans to submit to parliament this week its nominees for three BOJ leadership posts, the paper said.
