  • Bank of Canada Governor Stephen Poloz said the economy has “lots of room to grow,” suggesting a spate of stronger data points won’t sway the central bank from its plan to leave interest rates unchanged at least until well into next year
  • “If the economy took off like a rocket, it would still have room to grow and the way things have been, there is a lot of room to grow,” Mr. Poloz told The Globe and Mail at the Kansas City Fed’s annual economics symposium
