At the same time, while there are preliminary signs of a possible moderation in the Vancouver housing market, financial vulnerabilities associated with household imbalances remain elevated and continue to rise,\u201d the Bank said. \u201cThe Bank\u2019s Governing Council judges that the overall balance of risks remains within the zone for which the current stance of monetary policy is appropriate.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The global economy, meanwhile, grew at a slower clip than the Bank had predicted in July.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">However, it is expected to show signs of strength in Q3 and beyond.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cThe US economy was weaker than expected in the second quarter, notably reflecting a contraction in business and residential investment,\u201d it said. \u201cWhile a healthy labour market and solid consumption should remain supportive of growth in the rest of the year, the outlook for business investment has become less certain. Meanwhile, global financial conditions have become even more accommodative since July.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.canadianrealestatemagazine.ca\/news\/bank-of-canada-makes-rate-announcement-213400.aspx\" target=\"_blank\">Bank of Canada Makes Rate Announcement<\/a> by Justin da Rosa | Canadian Real Estate Wealth<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Bank of Canada held the target for the overnight rate at \u00bd% Wednesday.
