WELLINGTON (Reuters) - New Zealand central bank's new governance board, created by the government to strengthen decision making and accountability, will start work on Friday.

"This is a significant change that will strengthen the institutional arrangements of the Reserve Bank," New Zealand's Finance Minister Grant Robertson said in a statement.

He said the shift to a more conventional board model brings the Reserve Bank in line with other central banks, Crown Entities and public companies in New Zealand. 

The changes are part of a two-phase review of laws that govern the RBNZ, kicked off by the centre-left Labour-led government in 2017, which also elevated financial stability, employment and housing affordability as priorities for the bank.
