๐Ÿ‘‰The Bank of Canada (BoC) cut its policy rate by 25 bps to 4.50% and downgraded its 2024 growth forecast to 1.2%, citing reduced consumption in motor vehicles and foreign travel. Governor Tiff Macklem highlighted the shift in household spending towards debt payments. The BoC expects overall inflation to dip below core inflation in H2 2024, with stabilization at 2% in H2 2025. Despite the rate cut, monetary policy remains restrictive. The economy grew by an annualized 1.7% in Q1 2024, falling short of the previous 2.8% projection.โœ… . ๐„๐ฑ๐ฉ๐ž๐ซ๐ญ ๐Œ๐จ๐ซ๐ญ๐ ๐š๐ ๐ž ๐€๐๐ฏ๐ข๐ฌ๐ž- ๐€๐ญ ๐š ๐ญ๐ข๐ฆ๐ž ๐š๐ง๐ ๐ฉ๐ฅ๐š๐œ๐ž ๐œ๐จ๐ง๐ฏ๐ž๐ง๐ข๐ž๐ง๐ญ ๐Ÿ๐จ๐ซ ๐ฒ๐จ๐ฎ! ๐‰๐จ๐ฆ ๐Œ๐š๐ญ๐ญ๐š๐ฆ ๐Œ๐จ๐›๐ข๐ฅ๐ž ๐Œ๐จ๐ซ๐ญ๐ ๐š๐ ๐ž ๐€๐๐ฏ๐ข๐ฌ๐จ๐ซ +๐Ÿ ๐Ÿ”๐Ÿ’๐Ÿ• ๐Ÿ—๐Ÿ๐ŸŽ ๐Ÿ”๐Ÿ“๐Ÿ‘๐ŸŽ ๐ฃ๐จ๐ฆ.๐ฆ๐š๐ญ๐ญ๐š๐ฆ@๐œ๐ข๐›๐œ.๐œ๐จ๐ฆ @jom_mattam . . #BoC #InterestRates #Economy #Inflation #MonetaryPolicy #CanadaEconomy #TiffMacklem #mnm #malayalisnearmeapp #canadaupdate #canadanews
