WELLINGTON, Dec 10 (Reuters) – New Zealand’s top central banker ‍said on Wednesday that there was no preset course for monetary policy ‌and that ‌adjustments would be made if the outlook for inflation changes.

Breman ‍has previously said the RBNZ’s main objective ‍is ‍to keep inflation low ​and stable, ​while ⁠supporting economic growth.
