Rationale

CPI inflation falls to the 2% target as supply chains normalize and rate cuts take hold. The hidden megaedge: inflation_rate -> public_debt_charges (str=4.0!, d2) — every 1% of inflation changes debt service by 4x. Also: GST_revenues (immediate) + goc_10y_rate (d1) + personal_income_tax (d1) + CCB (d1) + CST (d1) + elderly_benefits (d1). Lower inflation compresses nominal revenue but shrinks debt service.

Details

Epoch: 33

Domain: economic

Fiscal cost estimate (LLM): $17.73B CAD

Structural estimate (RIPPLE): +$198.89B CAD net (v3-bfs-signed depth=2, decay=0.5/hop; diverges)

Top RIPPLE cost paths
  • +$211.20B → consumer_spending (Consumer Spending Growth) via inflation_rate
  • −$28.09B → budgetary_balance (Budgetary Balance (Deficit/Surplus)) via public_debt_charges
  • +$15.95B → direct_program_spending (Direct Program Expenses) via public_debt_charges
  • −$3.72B → healthcare_spending (Healthcare Spending) via inflation_rate

Causal effects: 10 downstream variables affected (4 immediate)

Divergence after: 220.445

Variable changes

  • inflation_rate: 2.5 → 2

Proposed policy move

inflation_rate: 2.5 → 2 (▼ -0.5)

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