Dep Gov Kozicki On Today's Strong CPI Report

CANADA

Paraphrasing from the Q&A:

  • We look into the details in the data. One thing that’s important to keep in mind is that it can be really volatile from month-to-month. Headline going from 2.8 to 3.3 to 4.0% Y/Y is not something that anyone in this room would like to see.
  • One of the big drivers was energy, one of the volatile drivers. Another thing that went up this month was rent. Those two pieces are the important pieces for understanding why inflation went up this month.
  • It’s going to take a long of time to sort through and interpret the data, and also in the context of other data we receive ahead of the new MPR in October. .. Always in the mind that mon pol takes time to have an effect.
