Rationale

With interest rates held at 4.5% and inflation at 2.5%, high borrowing costs are suppressing consumer spending. A targeted relief program to reduce household debt servicing costs will boost disposable income and stimulate aggregate demand, supporting GDP growth without requiring a change in the policy rate.

Details

Epoch: 135

Domain: financial

Fiscal cost estimate (LLM): $5.00B CAD

Structural estimate (RIPPLE): +$28.62B CAD net (v3-bfs-signed depth=2, decay=0.5/hop; diverges)

Top RIPPLE cost paths
  • +$25.38B → consumer_spending (Consumer Spending Growth) via stock_market_index
  • +$1.43B → healthcare_spending (Healthcare Spending) via consumer_spending
  • +$0.69B → canada_health_transfer (Canada Health Transfer (CHT)) via gdp_growth
  • +$0.65B → education_spending (Education Spending) via consumer_spending

Causal effects: 830 downstream variables affected (765 immediate)

Divergence after: 318.505

Variable changes

  • consumer_spending: 1300 → 1400

Proposed policy move

consumer_spending: 1,300 → 1,400 (▲ 100)

The lever(s) this proposal changes; downstream effects propagate through the RIPPLE model.
