With inflation nearing the 2% target and interest rates stabilizing, the policy priority shifts to sustaining growth momentum. Increasing business investment capitalizes on the current rate environment to expand productive capacity, thereby supporting long-term GDP growth and employment without reigniting inflationary pressures.

Details

Epoch: 127

Domain: economic

Fiscal cost estimate (LLM): $2.50B CAD

Structural estimate (RIPPLE): +$51.42B CAD net (v3-bfs-signed depth=2, decay=0.5/hop; diverges)
