David Dodge on Inflation Risk in Canada

David Dodge speaks with Bloomberg News on why Bank of Canada officials need to “temper their enthusiasm” that strong inflation readings will be short-lived. David says there’s a chance underlying price pressures in the economy remain above the central bank’s one percent to three percent control range into 2023. David expects the Bank of Canada will communicate that risk in its September rate decision, saying, “I think their language will be a little less on the temporary aspect of things and greater recognition there may be more longer term pressures in the system.”
