Bank of Canada still unsure where interest rates should land
Article content Policymakers at the Bank of Canada continue to debate how monetary policy can best support the Canadian economy during a period of global trade uncertainty, according to deliberations released on Wednesday. Article content Some members of the governing council said there should not be any further rate relief, given the Canadian economy has shown more resilience and further easing could exacerbate pricing pressures. Article content Article content Article content 'Businesses and consumers were adapting, and growth in sectors of the economy less tied to U.S. trade actions could support the overall economy, albeit on a lower path of economic activity,' the summary said. 'Given the lagged effects of monetary policy, there was a risk that further easing might take effect only as demand was recovering, which could add to price pressures.' Article content Article content Others, however, said further rate relief is needed given the persistent slack in the Canadian economy and a risk that the labour market could deteriorate further. Article content 'If incoming data showed that the upside risks to underlying inflation were not materializing, there could be more room for monetary policy to ease further, reducing economic slack and supporting the economy's adjustment to the reconfiguration of global trade,' the summary said. Article content The deliberations were from Bank of Canada meetings that took place from July 22 until the July 30 rate decision, when the central bank opted to hold its policy rate at 2.75 per cent for the third straight time. Article content Article content Bank of Canada governor Tiff Macklem said the hold was due to three main reasons: ongoing trade uncertainty with the United States, a more resilient Canadian economy and evidence of underlying inflation pressures. Article content Article content First-quarter gross domestic product (GDP) growth came in better than expected at 2.2 per cent, mainly due to businesses pulling forward inventory to beat tariff announcements. The central bank expects negative growth in the second quarter, but early Statistics Canada estimates suggest the second quarter is on track to avoid a contraction. Article content The unemployment rate has been 6.9 per cent in June and July, with layoffs still contained, but there has been very little net employment growth since the beginning of this year. Article content Macklem left the door open for further rate relief if 'a weakening economy puts further downward pressure on inflation and the upward price pressures from trade disruptions are contained.'
