Inflation around the world remains high and broad-based, but in many countries it has receded from its peak, largely due to declines in energy prices. With continued easing in global supply chain disruptions, inflation in durable goods prices is also moderating. Economic activity in advanced economies has been stronger than expected, labour markets remain tight, and core inflation has yet to show sustained improvement. With inflation still too high, many central banks have continued to increase their policy rates to slow demand and bring inflation down. Russia’s invasion of Ukraine continues to disrupt commodity markets and affect global economic activity. China’s abrupt lifting of COVID-19 restrictions poses an upside risk to commodity prices. In Canada, higher interest rates are working their way through an overheated economy. It remains in excess demand, and this is putting upward pressure on some domestic prices. The labour market is still tight, and many businesses are finding it difficult to attract workers.

*MACKLEM SAYS FULL EFFECT OF HIKES TO DATE 'IS STILL TO COME' *MACKLEM: RATE PAUSE IS 'CONDITIONAL ON ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENTS' *HIKING TOO FAR RISKS UNDERSHOOTING INFLATION TARGET: MACKLEMMacklem: Monetary Policy Report Press Conference Opening Statement Good morning. I’m pleased to be here with Senior Deputy Governor Carolyn Rogers to discuss today’s policy announcement and the Bank’s Monetary Policy Report (MPR). Our policy decision today has two elements. First, we raised our policy interest rate by 25 basis points to 4.50% and we are continuing quantitative tightening. Second, if economic developments evolve broadly in line with the forecast we published today, we expect to hold the policy rate at its current level while we assess the impact of the cumulative 425-basis-point increase in our policy rate.
