BOC: Macklem: Big Picture, Not A Great Deal Has Changed On Economic Outlook

Jun-10 14:49

Macklem addresses the GDP miss in Q1, putting a little more emphasis on the strength of domestic consumption in Q1 while saying "The miss was largely because there was an unexpected pullback in government spending" which he says can be "choppy" from one quarter to another. And "we do think growth will resume in the second quarter, we expect to see continued expansion of consumer spending. We think there'll be a little more stability in the housing market, so it won't be subtracting from growth."

  • Overall Macklem says, "big picture, not a great deal really has changed since our last decision", and while he acknowledges that "the economy is weak", he adds "but it is not clearly in recession." "We have not seen a significant broad-based decline in economic activity. So... recession is not the word I would use".
