Banco de Canadá sube la tasa de referencia al 2,5 % ante la inflación

El Banco de Canadá informó que el 28 de octubre elevó su tasa de política en 25 puntos básicos, hasta el 2,5 %, señalando que podrían ser necesarias nuevas subidas para contener la inflación, que se ha visto impulsada por el aumento de los precios de la energía. Según informó Global News, la entidad también publicó pronósticos revisados de inflación y crecimiento. Analistas habían pronosticado previamente un aumento de la tasa ante la subida de los precios del petróleo, informó The Globe and Mail. Algunos economistas canadienses advirtieron que la medida podría ser prematura debido al débil crecimiento y a la limitada presión inflacionaria, según el Financial Post.

Se estimó que el alza encarecería los pagos de hipotecas de tasa variable, líneas de crédito y préstamos de autos, al tiempo que aumentaría los rendimientos de cuentas de ahorro y bonos, informó The Globe and Mail. Asimismo, los analistas señalaron que la Reserva Federal de EE.  UU. mantendría sus tasas sin cambios, también según The Globe and Mail.
