    WELLINGTON, May 8 (Reuters) - New Zealand's central bank governor said on Wednesday that uncertainties to its interest rate projections were "large", after slashing rates to a record low and suggesting a chance of a further cut in 2020.

    The uncertain factors were "large" governor Adrian Orr told reporters, after the bank cut rates to 1.5 percent, adding it was now "in a good position to...observe the data as it unfolds."

    The governor said that the U.S.-China trade war and growing trade barriers were one of the bank's major concerns for New Zealand's small, open economy.
