Japan ruling coalition executive: No word from PM Abe on next BOJ governor

TOKYO (Reuters) – Natsuo Yamaguchi, leader of the junior partner of Japan’s ruling coalition, said on Thursday there was no word from premier Shinzo Abe on whom the government would nominate as the next Bank of Japan governor.
