FRANKFURT/BERLIN (Reuters) - The German government is likely to extend Bundesbank President Jens Weidmann's tenure for another eight-year term, a government source said on Tuesday, confirming a report in the Sueddeutsche Zeitung newspaper.
Weidmann, a member of the European Central Bank's governing council, is serving an eight-year term that expires in April. Asked whether Weidmann would be asked to stay on, the source said: "That's how it will play out."
