ae. AG Castlegar News March 12, 1989 BUSINESS OTTAWA (CP) — Bank of Canada governor John Crow and Finance Minister Michael Wilson appear ready to end their year-long (ug of war that has helped pull interest rates up toa three-year high Crow has been pushing up interest rates to get Canadians to cut their spending and ease what he believes is a dangerous buildup. of inflationary pressures One reason he hasn't succeeded and will probably push rates even higher is that Wilson, through his in come tax reforms, has been encouraging Canadians to spend, spend, spend by stuffing money back into their pockets The measures ... will put more money into the hands of Canadians,” tax reforms in late 1987 Wilson said when announcing his But as Philip Cross, a Statistics Canada economic analyst, said last week: “If yeu give people money they'll spend it,"? Cross was explaining why the economy, despite high interest rates, has continued to expand aiid will likely keep expanding — for the next while at least And it’s that continued strength of the economy analysts warning that interest rates are going up further before they come down The impact of the income tax reforms began showing up in the form of fatter pay cheques, roughly an extra $40 a month for the av 1988 — only three months before the November general ge Worker, in mid election call Ahd there was a promise of more to come — fatter refunds for taxpayers when they filed their tax returns in carly 1989. In light of what Crow has been-frying to do, the tax Measures now look dumb. Bur in an election year it’s Political smarts not economic sense that count Interest rates hit 3-year high Last week, , Crow finally complaingd or came as close to.complaining as any central bank however governor dares. “When mainly through monetary policy, this is bound to be reflected demand restraint is’ exercised importantly in money markets and the exchange rate,” Crow said in a speech delivered in the inflationary hat bed of southwestern Ontario A laygnan’s translation: If Ottawa and the provi ces don't act to’ slow inflation through their spending. and taxing policies, then the Bank of Canada must MOST EFFECTIVE And the most effective tool the bank has is interest rates yr k has pushed the rates ,up by three full percentage points over the last year Thats why the ba interestingly, Wilson welcomed Crow's criticism, just as he clearly welcomed a warning by the Inter national Monetary Fund earlier last week that Ottawa must take fast and tough action to cut its deficit One Finance Department official even pointed ‘to Crow's comments about the need for governments to adjust their policies as the key point in the governor's address. Wilson knows that he needs all the ammunition he can muster to get support from his cabinet colleagues and the Canadian public for a stringent budget next month to undo the mess his policies have apparently help create Late last week, Wilson warned Canadians that because of high interest rates and their damaging impact on federal finances, the government may have to renege dn some Of its clection promise And that suggests Wilson, to Crow’s relief, will start taking back some of the money he has been putting into Canadian pockets.
