Although inflation was being pushed up by special factors, particularly insurance premiums and energy costs, there were also signs that strong domestic demand was working to broaden price pressures. In April, we projected that Canadian economic growth would average 2 1/2 per cent in the first three quarters of the year and that core inflation would fall to 2 per cent by early 2004. As it turns out, growth has been weaker than expected and is now likely to average just over 1 1/2 per cent in the first three quarters of the year. So the Bank now estimates that there is more slack in the economy than was projected in April. Moreover, the decline in core inflation occurred earlier, and has been more pronounced, than we had projected. As well, virtually all measures of inflation expectations have decreased since April. 000004018 538__ $$aSystem requirements: Adobe Acrobat Reader. 000004018 650_0 $$aMonetary policy$$zCanada.$$aPolitique monétaire$$zCanada. 000004018 7102_ $$aBank of Canada. 000004018 7750_ $$iFrench version$$tRapport sur la politique monétaire : octobre 2003$$w4065 000004018 789__ $$tMonetary Policy Report Summary : October 2003$$eIsSupplementedBy$$2URL$$whttps://www.oar-rao.bank-banque-canada.ca/record/4102 000004018 8301_ $$aMonetary Policy Report 000004018 8564_ $$uhttps://www.oar-rao.bank-banque-canada.ca/record/4018/files/mproct03.pdf$$9c0e18f62-c637-4f8f-b4fb-708d87fa518c$$s462045$$zFile Source: Bank of Canada website, 2024 000004018 909CO $$ooai:www.oar-rao.bank-banque-canada.ca:4018$$pbibliographic 000004018 980__ $$aIR 000004018 980__ $$aMonetary Policy Report 000004018 991__ $$aPublic
