The Bank of Canada says it's trying to not raise interest rates more than it has to, as members of the governing council are mindful of the risks associated with raising rates too much.
The central bank released its summary of deliberations Wednesday, providing insight into its decision to raise interest rates again earlier this month as the economy runs hotter than expected.
The summary says the governing council considered whether rate hikes are just taking longer to affect the economy, or whether interest rates have not risen enough to slow the economy and bring inflation down. Ultimately, they decided that both factors were partly at play, but that cost of waiting too long to raise rates outweighed the benefits.
But the Bank of Canada is still concerned about price growth, as core measure of inflation that strip out volatility remain high.
