The bank also anticipates that even if changes in the balance of inflation risks do require caution, the central bank will not respond to the direct impact of rising oil prices on inflation. Therefore, Scotiabanks analysis suggests that the Bank of Canada will begin a gradual exit from monetary stimulus and shift to a more neutral stance by the end of the year. This implies that the bank will maintain interest rates unchanged in the short term until the renegotiation of the USMCA is finalized.
