Bank of Canada says new administration could lead to higher rates in the U.S.
BY Reuters | ECONOMIC | 11/06/24 01:20 PM ESTOTTAWA, Nov 6 (Reuters) - Bank of Canada senior deputy governor Carolyn Rogers said on Wednesday that a new administration in the United States could lead to higher interest rates there.
"There are going to be policy changes to taxes, to trade, to immigration in the U.S. that could lead to U.S. economic growth, which could lead to inflation and higher rates," she said in Toronto.
"We will remain optimistic as things move from campaign to governing, we'll see some things settle down and work out while we talk about trade," she said. (Reporting by Promit Mukherjee Editing by Dale Smith)
