- GDP growth is expected to be 1.5% in 2024, 2.0% in 2025 and 2026.
- Data since January has increased our confidence that inflation will continue to come back down.
- BoC expected core inflation to continue to ease gradually.
- Growth in the Canadian economy appears to be picking up.
- Monetary policy appears to be working.
- BoC does not have to do whatever the Fed does.
