Rationale

With inflation at 2.5% (within the 2% target band's tolerance) and GDP growth lagging, a 100bps rate cut reduces borrowing costs for businesses and households. This stimulates business investment and consumer spending, helping to close the output gap and support sustainable GDP growth without reigniting inflationary pressures.

Details

Epoch: 137

Domain: financial

Fiscal cost estimate: +$183.28B CAD net (RIPPLE-derived; LLM omitted)
