  • The BoC’s advisory on its website currently says the presser opening statement will be released at 1030ET but we believe it will still be 0945ET as per the new format that started this year.
  • To recap: we’ll get the decision statement, MPR and presser opening statement at 0945ET before the press conference itself starts at 1030ET.
  • From Macklem’s interview with MNI last month: “The press release -- that is the policy decision. That’s number one.
