Markets looking beyond official cash rate review to new Reserve Bank governorMAARTEN HOLL/STUFF NZ Super Fund chief executive returns to the Reserve Bank as Governor on March 27. As financial markets prepare for a new governor of the Reserve Bank, Thursday's official cash rate review may mark the least important decision of its kind. CAMERON BURNELL/STUFF Acting Reserve Bank governor is widely expected to leave the official cash rate unchanged at 1.75 per cent on Thursday. A former head of economics at the Reserve Bank, Orr has headed the NZ Super Fund for a decade. "We anticipate Orr's initial focus at the Reserve Bank will be on managing the Government's changes to the Reserve Bank Act, not necessarily delving into the deep minutia of the [central bank]'s economic forecasts."
