The Bank of Canada left interest rates unchanged for a fifth straight decision and continued to signal it sees no need to move borrowing costs anytime soon, even as it expressed growing confidence the economy is rebounding. At a rate decision today, policy makers in Ottawa said recent data have "reinforced" their view a recent slowdown at the end of 2018 and early 2019 was temporary. However, they said mounting global trade risks are "heightening uncertainty" around the outlook. "In this context, the degree of accommodation being provided by the current policy interest rates remains appropriate," the central bank said in its statement, reiterating it will remain data dependent and closely monitor developments in household spending, oil markets and global trade. The recent policy pause is a reflection of an economy only just emerging from a serious slowdown, and which remains too fragile to cope with higher rates. Even without global trade uncertainties, the recent weakness has opened up enough slack to warrant the need for simulative rates, as least for now.
