TOKYO, Jan 22 (Reuters) - Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida said on Sunday that he would take the April economic situation into account in choosing the next Bank of Japan (BOJ) governor.
Appearing in a TV Tokyo programme, Kishida said it was too early to comment on whether there is a need to alter a 2013 policy accord between the government and the central bank.
