Business Banks and the Expected Impact of Interest Rate Cuts on the Economy
Bank of Canada’s Rate Cut Preview
As inflation figures currently sit below the Bank of Canada’s targets, many in the finance sector believe a supersized rate cut is on the horizon. Analysts predict that the Bank could reduce its policy rate by half a percentage point.
Impact on the Economy and Business Banks
The anticipated cuts could have wide-ranging effects. Business banks may see increased borrowing as construction and real estate sectors benefit. This potentially leads to a more favorable labour market as jobs increase in response.
