Japan govt to submit BOJ board nominee to parliament on Jan 28, sources say

TOKYO, Jan 21 (Reuters) - Japan's government is likely to submit a nominee on Jan. 28 to fill a seat on the central bank's board that opens up in March, three government and ruling party sources told Reuters.

The nominee, who would need to be approved by both houses of parliament, would replace economist-turned Bank of Japan board member Seiji Adachi, whose five-year term ends on March 25.

Adachi is considered as neutral on monetary policy. BOJ's nine-member board is mostly split between those who favour raising interest rates steadily and others who are cautious about phasing out the bank's massive stimulus too soon.

In general the bond market is volatile, and fixed income securities carry interest rate risk. (As interest rates rise, bond prices usually fall, and vice versa. This effect is usually more pronounced for longer-term securities.) Fixed income securities also carry inflation risk and credit and default risks for both issuers and counterparties. Unlike individual bonds, most bond funds do not have a maturity date, so avoiding losses caused by price volatility by holding them until maturity is not possible.

Lower-quality debt securities generally offer higher yields, but also involve greater risk of default or price changes due to potential changes in the credit quality of the issuer. Any fixed income security sold or redeemed prior to maturity may be subject to loss.
