ING Notes New Zealand Central Bank's New Governor Comes From Sweden's Risksbank

10:28 AM EDT, 09/24/2025 (MT Newswires) -- It was announced overnight Tuesday that Riksbank's Deputy Governor Anna Breman will become the new Reserve Bank of New Zealand (RBNZ) governor from December, said ING.

ING doesn't see major implications for either central bank, as Breman briefly stood out on the dovish side in 2023 but has since been rather neutral.

The RBNZ might also even be done with cuts by the time she joins -- markets pricing in 60bps of easing by November, stated the bank.

Breman will be the RBNZ's first female governor.

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.
