Japan's parliament has approved Haruhiko Kuroda as
governor of the Bank of Japan, who is expected to push for monetary stimulus to
boost growth in the world's third-largest economy.
The upper house cleared Kuroda after he won approval
from the lower house on Thursday.
Kuroda has said he will do whatever it takes to
bring inflation up to 2%.
Japan has seen 20 years of intermittent falling
consumer prices, which analysts say has hurt its economy.
The upper house also voted to approve the
appointment of Kikuo Iwata and Hiroshi Nakaso as deputies to Kuroda, who is
leaving his current job as president of the Asian Development Bank.
