However, with the U.S. economy slowing more quickly than expected, the base-case projection for Canadian economic growth has been revised down slightly from that in the July Monetary Policy Report Update. Lower energy prices have led to a downward revision of the projection for total consumer price inflation. They have also contributed to moving the Canadian dollar into a somewhat lower trading range. Although domestic demand in Canada has continued to grow at a robust pace, GDP growth in the second and third quarters of 2006 has been slower than expected, largely because of weaker net exports. A weaker near-term outlook for the U.S. economy has curbed the near-term prospects for Canadian exports and growth. As well, the Bank has lowered its assumption for potential growth to 2.8 per cent for the 2006–08 period, given recent developments in labour productivity. As a result of these factors, the Bank’s base-case projection for Canadian GDP growth has been lowered to 2.8 per cent this year and 2.5 per cent in 2007. But with the U.S. economy projected to recover by the end of 2007, growth should pick up to 2.8 per cent in 2008. Such a profile implies that the small amount of excess demand now in the economy will be eliminated by the second half of 2007 and that the economy will then remain roughly in balance through to the end of the projection period. 000004024 538__ $$aSystem requirements: Adobe Acrobat Reader. 000004024 650_0 $$aMonetary policy$$zCanada.$$aPolitique monétaire$$zCanada. 000004024 7102_ $$aBank of Canada. 000004024 7750_ $$iFrench version$$tRapport sur la politique monétaire : octobre 2006$$w4071 000004024 789__ $$tMonetary Policy Report Summary : October 2006$$eIsSupplementedBy$$2URL$$whttps://www.oar-rao.bank-banque-canada.ca/record/4108 000004024 8301_ $$aMonetary Policy Report 000004024 8564_ $$uhttps://www.oar-rao.bank-banque-canada.ca/record/4024/files/mproct06.pdf$$9748ac4f5-836d-491c-a3ed-1fcd6755225e$$s370359$$zFile Source: Bank of Canada website, 2024 000004024 909CO $$ooai:www.oar-rao.bank-banque-canada.ca:4024$$pbibliographic 000004024 980__ $$aIR 000004024 980__ $$aMonetary Policy Report 000004024 991__ $$aPublic
