OTTAWA (Reuters) – Bank of Canada senior deputy governor Carolyn Rogers (NYSE:ROG) said on Wednesday that inflation in Canada was too high and had not yet peaked, adding “it’s keeping us up at night”.
Rogers told a conference organised by the Globe and Mail newspaper that inflation in May, which hit a near 40-year high of 7.7%, was not entirely unexpected.
