惠灵顿，10月29日电——新西兰央行行长安娜·布雷曼周四表示，该行12月加息官方现金利率的可能性“很高”。
New Zealand central bank governor says chances of December hike are high WELLINGTON, Oct 29 - New Zealand central bank governor Anna Breman said on Thursday chances the bank will hike the official cash rate in December are "high".
布雷曼对《新西兰先驱报》表示：“我们要表达的是，委员会所有成员都同意，我们很可能会看到官方现金利率（OCR）进一步上调。时机尚不确定，将取决于经济前景以及通胀的演变情况。”
"What we are saying is all the committee agree that it is likely that we will see further OCR (official cash rate) increases," Breman told the New Zealand Herald. "Timing is uncertain and it will depend on economic outlook and how inflation is evolving."
当被问及12月加息的几率时，她回答：“我会说几率很高。”新西兰储备银行周三在其定期货币政策审议中意外维持现金利率在2.75%不变，但暗示进一步加息的可能性很大，令市场感到意外。
When asked what the chances of a hike were for December, she responded: "I would say that they were high." The Reserve Bank of New Zealand on Wednesday surprised markets by holding the cash rate at 2.75% at its scheduled monetary policy review but flagged further hikes were likely.
决议公布后，新西兰元大幅下跌，市场目前预期12月加息的概率为77%。
The New Zealand dollar fell sharply after the decision and the market is currently pricing a 77% chance of a hike in December.
布雷曼在采访中补充说，她希望公众明白，尽管当前处于不确定时期，“新西兰储备银行将保持非常冷静，专注于我们的职责，确保通胀回到目标区间。”
Breman added in the interview that she wanted people to understand that while they are living in uncertain times "the Reserve Bank will stay very calm and focused on our mandate and ensuring inflation returns to target."
