Canada Drop-In: Is this the end of the Bank of Canada’s tightening cycle?

Join Paul Ashworth, our Chief North America Economist, Stephen Brown, who leads our Canada coverage, and Jonathan Peterson, Senior FX Markets Economist, held a 20-minute briefing shortly after the Bank’s January decision announcement.

Paul, Stephen and Jonathan answered client questions as they discussed the outlook for the Canadian economy, policy and financial markets and address issues including:

• Whether this marks the end for tightening;
• If the housing downturn could quickly cause the Bank to reverse course;
• Whether tougher times lie ahead for the loonie.
