Bank of Canada Deputy Governor Toni Gravelle said on Thursday that they welcome the improvement in October inflation figures but warned that they need to see further progress on restoring price stability.
On Wednesday, the Bank of Canada kept its key rate unchanged at 5%, as expected. Gravelle reiterated that “overall, the economy no longer looks to be in excess demand.”
While we saw some welcome improvement in inflation measures in October, we must remember it's just one month. We need to see further progress.
The economy is now roughly in balance, but we are closely watching inflation expectations, wage growth and corporate pricing behaviour. These indicators are helping us assess whether inflation is on a sustained path to 2%.
The recent increase in immigration boosted consumption in the near term, but we estimate that that alone did not have a significant impact on inflation. However, due to Canada’s existing housing supply challenges, population growth has added to the pressure on shelter price inflation. Had builders been able to respond more flexibly to the increased demand, it would have helped reduce upward pressure on rent and housing prices.
Newcomers have helped loosen tight labour markets and have significantly improved our country’s potential growth, which will help keep a lid on inflationary pressures in the long run. But Canada needs more homes. And we need to make our housing supply more responsive to increases in demand. This will allow us to properly welcome new arrivals and to ensure all Canadians have an affordable place to live.
Comments from Gravelle had no impact on the Loonie. The USD/CAD remained moving sideways hovering around 1.3600, marginally higher for the day.

Izvršenje trgovinskih operacija sa finansijskim instrumentima upotrebom marginalne trgovine pruža velike mogućnosti i omogućava investitorima ostvarivanje visokih prihoda. Međutim, takav vid trgovine povezan je sa potencijalno visokim nivoom rizika od gubitka sredstava. Проведение торговых операций на финанcовых рынках c маржинальными финанcовыми инcтрументами открывает широкие возможноcти, и позволяет инвеcторам, готовым пойти на риcк, получать выcокую прибыль, но при этом неcет в cебе потенциально выcокий уровень риcка получения убытков. Iz tog razloga je pre započinjanja trgovine potrebno odlučiti o izboru odgovarajuće investicione strategije, uzimajući u obzir raspoložive resurse.
