Bank of Canada holds interest rate, warns of ‘significant uncertainties’
– canadianbusiness.com
The Bank of Canada is holding its trend-setting interest rate at 0.5 per cent _ but it’s keeping a watchful eye on “significant uncertainties” that it warns could alter the economy’s improving trajectory.
The central bank’s scheduled rate announcement Wednesday arrived as Canada tries to assess the direction of U.S. economic policy under President Donald Trump and the potential fallout from any changes he may bring.
The bank has said some U.S. proposals, which include tax cuts, a border tax and protectionist policies, would have “material consequences” for Canadian investment and exports.
In an unusually short statement Wednesday, the Bank of Canada used slightly stronger language when referring to U.S. uncertainties than it did in the news release that accompanied its last rate announcement on Jan. 18.
At that time, two days before Trump’s inauguration, the bank indicated that “uncertainty about the global outlook is undiminished, particularly with respect to policies in the United States…

Canadian pension funds can help rebuild U.S., says Trump transition official
– canadianbusiness.com
A former director of U.S. President Donald Trump’s transition team says Canadian pension funds are well-placed to help rebuild America’s aging infrastructure.
Dan Slane says funds such as Quebec’s Caisse de depot have the expertise and deep pockets to partner with local U.S. funds to invest in projects such as airports, hospitals and transit.
Slane, who is not involved in the U.S. administration, told an infrastructure conference in Montreal on Wednesday that he was disappointed that Trump didn’t provide more details in his speech to Congress on Tuesday evening about his US$1-trillion infrastructure project, including how much would be funded by taxpayers.
However, he later told reporters that locking down global funding isn’t a problem, noting that sovereign wealth funds from Saudi Arabia, Japan and China are all looking to invest in projects.

OTTAWA — The Bank of Canada is holding its trendsetting interest rate at 0.5 per cent — but it’s keeping a watchful eye on “significant uncertainties” that it warns could alter the economy’s improving trajectory.

In an unusually short statement, the Bank of Canada uses slightly stronger language when referring to U.S. uncertainties than it did in January.
The bank says improvements in recent data releases have been consistent with its projections and it expects fourth-quarter growth might have been slightly stronger than predicted.
However, on the downside, it says Canadian exports continue to face competitiveness challenges while the job market has seen weaker growth in wages and hours worked…
