-- モントリオール銀行(BMO)は、成長率とインフレ率が現在の予想通り推移すると仮定すれば、カナダ銀行は政策金利の変更を長期にわたって見送る可能性があると指摘した。 同行によると、カナダ銀行は水曜日に年次4月改定で想定中立金利レンジを2.25%~3.25%に据え置いた。 これにより、現在の政策金利は想定レンジの下限付近に位置することになる。 BMOは、中立金利の低水準を維持している要因として、人口増加の停滞と、それが労働力増加に及ぼす悪影響を挙げている。 一方、中立金利の高水準を維持している要因として、生産性成長率の改善と、カナダにも影響を与える米国の中立金利の堅調さ(若干の上振れも含む)を挙げている。 これらの要素を総合的に考慮すると、BMOはカナダ銀行が今年、政策金利を据え置くという見方に自信を持っている。
