TOKYO, Feb 13 (Reuters) - Japanese Finance Minister Taro Aso said on Tuesday the next governor of the Bank of Japan would need English skills to deal with global financial issues.
Aso, speaking to reporters, said the governor would also need communication skills to explain Japan's monetary policy in parliament and have stamina to travel overseas.
Media reports over the weekend, confirmed by a source, said the government had decided to nominate Haruhiko Kuroda for a rare second term as central bank governor when his current one expires in April. The government is to present the nomination to parliament later this month, the source said. (Reporting by Stanley White, Editing by Chang-Ran Kim)
