Dmitry Matveev, Julien McDonald-Guimond and Rodrigo Sekkel

No 2020-24, Staff Analytical Notes from Bank of Canada

We present updated estimates of the neutral rate in Canada using the most recent data. We expect the COVID-19 pandemic to significantly affect the fundamental drivers of the Canadian neutral rate.
