Haruhiko Kuroda is considered a contender to get a second term as Bank of Japan governor by a majority of economists who offered an opinion on the matter ahead of a policy meeting this week.

A third of them listed him as the only possible contender to lead the central bank after his current term ends in April 2018, according to a survey by Bloomberg.
