Brokers can track the full Bank of Canada decision-making calendar, including the schedule of Business Outlook Survey releases and Canadian Survey of Consumer Expectations, directly through the Bank’s website.
The Bank also published its 2027 release dates for the Business Outlook Survey and the Canadian Survey of Consumer Expectations — two closely watched sentiment indicators that signal whether business confidence and household spending expectations are shifting.
