The new Reserve Bank Governor is pledging to build trust and credibility.

Sweden's Anna Breman has been announced to lead  the central bank, taking over from interim Governor Christian Hawkesby in December.

She'll be the first woman to ever hold the role - selected from more than 300 candidates who were initially identified.

Newstalk ZB reporter Azaria Howell says Breman has revealed the new core ideals of the RBNZ under her leadership - and has voiced her commitment to transparency.
