Key takeaways
"Structural changes in labor markets are making the Bank of Canada's job more complicated."
"One of our main challenges is accurately distinguishing structural changes from cyclical fluctuations."
"Monetary policy cannot compensate for lower supply caused by trade friction or population aging."
"Main labor trends in Canada are low turnover, rising long-term unemployment and persistently high youth unemployment."
"Current conditions point to mild excess supply in Canadian labor market, which is less dynamic than it was before."
"If we stimulate demand when issue is more structural, we could create inflationary prssures while delaying necessary restructuring."
"We are exploring more granular data to better understand what's happening in job."
Market reaction
These comments don't seem to be having a noticeable impact on the Canadian Dollar's performance. At the time of press, USD/CAD was up 0.1% on the day at 1.3817.
