Canada's annual inflation rate accelerated to an 18-year-high in September, driven by rising transportation, shelter and food prices, data showed on Wednesday, putting the focus on the Bank of Canada ahead of a rate decision next week.
Inflation increased to 4.4% in September, beating the average analyst estimate of 4.3%, to reach its fastest clip since February 2003, Statistics Canada data showed.
Governor Tiff Macklem last week said supply chain bottlenecks meant that inflation would probably take a bit longer than previously expected to come down. The last time that annual inflation reached 4.4% was in February 2003, when the Bank of Canada's key rate was 2.75%. In March of that year the bank raised the rate to 3.0%.
