Key Points
- Market odds of a Bank of Canada rate cut for March have dropped to 30% due to persistent inflationary pressures and stronger-than-expected job growth.
- New housing construction in Canada is projected to slow down until 2027, particularly in the condominium sector, which could affect the availability and affordability of homes in urban areas.
- FSRA has revoked Shah Ata Hussain Faridi's mortgage agent licence for providing false information, emphasizing the importance of integrity and honesty in the mortgage industry.
