Bank of Canada Deputy Flags Dilemma Over Trade War and Energy Shock
Original: Bank of Canada Deputy Sees ‘Dilemma’ on Trade War, Energy Shock
A Bank of Canada deputy governor has described a 'dilemma' facing the central bank as it weighs two opposing pressures: a trade war pushing prices up and slowing growth, alongside an energy shock. The comments highlight the difficulty of setting interest rates when inflation risks come from tariffs and energy costs rather than domestic demand, leaving officials torn between supporting the economy and keeping prices stable.
