Benjamin Tal from CIBC spoke today at the #REMAXActivate in Quebec City on the CANADIAN economy.

He has been the most accurate Economist that I have followed in Real Estate over the past 20+ years.

EXPECTATIONS ARE:

We will see another 75% bases point increase on October 26th affecting the variable rate.

Followed by an additional 25% bases point increase before the end of 2022.
Rates will not drop in 2023

Inflation is 50% based on the supply chain, which was up 400% during the first year of COVID lockdown while shoppers’ online purchasing habits became a new daily routine.

Even though this has improved over the past 6 months, it is predicted that we will be in a forced recession entering 2023.

A monetary policy error is a concern. By raising interest rates higher than they need to be, there is a fear of overshooting inflation.

400,000 plus new Canadians obtained citizenship in 2021, of which 70% were already in Canada. These are Canadian educated citizens who have already adjusted to our culture and are working at high-paying jobs.

Summary: We borrowed for the future with extremely low-interest rates………Now the future is here.
