WASHINGTON (Sputnik) - The Bank of Canada said on Thursday it needs to "increase the interest rate more" to cool the economy and achieve the 2% inflation level objective.
"We need to increase the interest rate more. We’ve increased interest rates five times since March, and we’re already seeing results from our actions. Sectors that are more sensitive to interest rate increases, like housing, are already slowing," the Bank of Canada said in a statement.
High energy and food prices are among some of the global challenges impacting the inflation levels in Canada in addition to significant labor shortages at home and rising wages that translate into higher prices for Canadian consumers.
