Japan's government on Wednesday nominated Toichiro Asada, a professor at Chuo University, and Ayano Sato, a professor at Aoyama Gakuin University, as Bank of Japan board members, the Nikkei reported.
They are in favour of easy policy and active fiscal spending.
Asada will be successor to Asashi Noguchi, whose term ends on March 31, and Sato will replace Junko Nakagawa, whose term ends on June 29.
The Lower and Upper houses of Japan's parliament will need to approve both appointments.
