Quick Glance: Canada Urgently Needs to Boost Productivity
  • Carolyn Rogers, the Deputy Governor of the Bank of Canada, emphasizes the need for a turnaround to safeguard the economy from potential inflationary pressures.

  • In the fourth quarter of 2023, Canada saw a 1.7% annual increase in productivity, marking the first rise following six consecutive quarterly declines.

  • Current data suggests that Canada's productivity level has remained virtually unchanged for the past seven years.

  • Furthermore, an additional measure of living standards utilized by economists indicates a prolonged stagnation, remaining stagnant at a level reminiscent of nearly a decade ago.

Quick Glance: Bank of Canada Likely to Lead U.S. Fed in Rate Cuts
  • The Bank of Canada is likely to move ahead of the U.S. Federal Reserve on its first rate cut, as tepid economic growth and cooling inflation are priming up conditions to ease borrowing rates sooner, economists and analysts said.

  • Canada may also need deeper cuts in the current cycle, since the economy is much more sensitive to interest rates due to its household debt, which as a percentage of net disposable income is the highest among G7 countries.

  • Canada is expected to cut more aggressively over a longer time frame than its neighbor.

  • Bank of Canada Governor Tiff Macklem has said that despite two back-to-back soft inflation prints, underlying price pressures in the economy still persisted and it was still too early to consider a cut.
