I came upon this interesting article which I would like to pass on to you:


OTTAWA (CP) - Citing global uncertainties, the
Bank of Canada left its key overnight interest
rate unchanged at 2.75 per cent Wednesday and
kept the bank rate at three per cent. However,
the central bank warned that rate increases are
inevitable.

"It remains the bank's view, going forward, that
timely removal of monetary stimulus will be
required to achieve the inflation target over the medium term," it said in a statement.

"The pace of monetary policy tightening will depend on unfolding economic, financial and geopolitical developments and their implications for pressures on capacity and inflation in Canada."

While domestic conditions might have supported a rate hike, the bank resisted the urge to raise rates immediately because of offshore factors.

"The outlook for global economic activity has weakened, reflecting uncertainty about economic, financial and geopolitical developments, as well as a reduced tolerance for risk in global financial markets," it said.

"These uncertainties and the weaker global outlook may dampen growth in aggregate demand for Canadian output in the near term."

The Canadian economy has shown unexpected strength this year, defying the sluggish performance recorded in the United States.
Overall inflation in Canada was at 2.6 per cent in August, with the core rate - measuring the most volatile items in the price index - hitting 2.5 per cent. That's well above the bank's two per cent target for core inflation.

Job-creation remains strong, despite some slippage last month, when most new jobs were part-time. The economy grew by 4.3 per cent in the second quarter of the year, with real consumer spending up 3.0 per cent.

David Dodge, governor of the bank, has warned repeatedly that he's prepared to raise rates as needed to rein in the economy. But the has also tempered those warnings by saying increases have to be measured and timely.

Given uncertain prospects abroad, the bank does not want to cool the economy right away.

Economists predict, though, that rates will rise by two percentage points next year.

The next scheduled interest rate announcement is Dec. 3.

 

I will keep you all informed.
