  • On June 4, 2025, the head of Canada’s central bank chose to maintain the benchmark interest rate, highlighting ongoing economic uncertainties in Ottawa.
  • Macklem explained that the COVID-19 recovery sparked inflation, leading to a rapid tightening cycle, and the federal government’s inflation mandate is up for review next year.
  • He emphasized the bank now navigates a 'shock-prone' world with increased data reliance and ongoing scrutiny of core inflation amid concerns like housing affordability and tariff disputes.
  • Macklem stated, "We didn't cause a recession," and noted the inflation framework has faced its biggest test in 30 years while Canada assumes a G7 leadership role.
