The country, he added, is heading into a period of stagflation — a term coined to describe slow economic growth combined with persistent in- flation ‘This puts the Bank of Canada ina real dilemma. Does it keep rates high in order to continue tq lean against in flation? Or does it lower rates to try to keep the economy trom moving into a possible recession?" Miller said he thinks there is a still a strong enough economic growth rate that the bank will keep rates at their current levels The central bank rate -fell for the third straight 12.30. per cent from 12.50 per cent the week before. But Thiessen, the bank’s senior deputy governor, said it will stay with its high-rate policy until thereare clear signs inflation is licked The economy is slowing and that is really what we need to gef one a more sustainable path, one that is going to prevent an outburst of inflation which is what the bank has been trying to he said.
