"We expect the BoC to leave its policy rate unchanged at this week's meeting. We also believe that it will reiterate that risks on inflation remain tilted to the downside and that it will lower its growth forecast in its Monetary Policy Report. We continue to believe that the BoC will leave its policy rate at 0.50% for the rest of the year. We think there are two key questions to consider: 1) is the recent rebound in export performance sustainable, given continued underperformance is non-energy, and 2) what will be the impact of the fiscal stimulus? Until we get more concrete answers on these points, we expect the Bank to retain its wait-and-see approach. However, if further stimulus is judged necessary, we believe it is more likely to come from fiscal policy than from monetary policy".
