      This summary reflects discussions and deliberations by members of Governing Council in stage three of the Bank’s monetary policy decision-making process. This stage takes place after members have received all staff briefings and recommendations. Governing Council’s policy decision-making meetings began on March 7, 2025. The Governor presided over these meetings. Members in attendance were Governor Tiff Macklem, Senior Deputy Governor Carolyn Rogers and Deputy Governors Toni Gravelle, Sharon Kozicki, Nicolas Vincent and Rhys Mendes. Governing Council members began their deliberations by discussing global economic developments since the January Monetary Policy Report. The discussion focused on recent economic developments in light of shifting trade policies. Economic growth in the United States was weaker than expected in the last quarter of 2024, slowing to 2.3%. A contraction in business investment drove the slowdown, despite consumption growing at a strong rate of 4.2%. Members noted that the US economy showed signs it could slow further in the first quarter of 2025.
