Bank of Canada expected to go big with October rate hike as recession risks loom

Canada’s top economists are expecting the Bank of Canada to deliver another outsized rate hike on Wednesday in its continued fight against decades-high inflation.

The central bank is expected to raise the policy rate by 50 or 75 basis points as part of the Bank’s strategy of front-loading rate hikes, but comes at a time when recession calls are growing louder. Some economists are expecting the Bank to take its foot off the gas following this rate decision.
