OTTAWA (MNI)
Canada's independent budget office said Tuesday the federal debt service ratio will fall to a record low 7% in fiscal 2023-24, and even if interest rates jumped by 1 percentage point that figure would only climb to 11.6%, where it was less than a decade ago.
The Parliamentary Budget Office said that in absolute terms, a permanent 1 percentage point rise in interest rates would raise annual public debt charges by CAD12.8 billion by 2025-26. Canada's debt ratio of interest payments to tax revenue reached almost 50% around 1990 just before Canada went through a wrenching cycle of austerity to preserve its creditworthiness.
