Poloz spoke to the CBC

The CBC is teasing some comments from an interview to be aired with Bank of Canada governor Stephen Poloz tomorrow:

  • High household debt made is weary from the beginning that each hike would have more of an impact than before

  • Our research expanded on that and our model now has 50% more interest rate sensitivity in it than historically

  • The model has done a good job over the past 12 months, our confidence is growing that we've got that just about right

This sounds less hawkish but at the same time, Poloz talked about a return to neutral rates today so they must have calculated that they economy can handle it.

All that said, the BOC sounds like it's in love with its own model.
