Free AccessMNI POLICY: BOC's Poloz: Below-Potential Growth 'Temporary'>
By Courtney Tower
OTTAWA (MNI) - Following are the key points from a speech by Bank
of Canada Governor Stephen Poloz on Monday, reaffirming the BOC's
position that the present low-growth period will prove to be temporary.
He spoke to the regional chamber of commerce in the Arctic community of
Iqaluit, Nunavut, Canada:
- Poloz said, "Recent economic data have been generally consistent
with our expectation that the period of below-potential growth will
prove to be temporary." Keeping the policy rate below neutral would
"help the economy work through this downshift in growth and keep
inflation close to target." Poloz repeated the BOC's March statement
that the economic outlook continues to warrant a policy rate below
neutral to help the economy work through its downshift.
- Overall, recent data are giving a "mixed picture and need to be
carefully monitored."
- Poloz repeated the BOC's concerns that the Canadian economy is
hampered by business uncertainty and delayed or postponed investments -
due to uncertainty about trade policy - as well as adjustments in
housing and the oil industry.
- Nevertheless, "We expect that both exports and investment will
return to positive growth later this year," he said. Poloz cited the
strong labor market, and said that the oil sector adjustments to lower
pricing would eventually be completed. As well, "firms tell us that they
need to make new investments, and that the recent rules "around capital
cost allowances are likely to speed that up."
