GACTORONTO - Five things to watch for in the ºÃÉ«tv business world in the coming week:
Home sales
The ºÃÉ«tv Real Estate Association will release its August home sales figures on Monday. The association reported last month that home sales in July rose 6.6 per cent compared with a year ago, continuing an upward trend after the market had slowed in previous months.
Parliament resumes
The House of Commons comes back from its summer break on Monday. The return comes as the minority Liberal government prepares a fall budget that is expected to include a mix of spending initiatives as well as austerity measures.
Inflation
Statistics Canada will release its latest inflation reading on Tuesday when it publishes its consumer price index for August. The annual inflation rate was 1.7 per cent in July, down from 1.9 per cent in June. The report comes one day ahead of the Bank of Canada's interest rate announcement.
Interest rate announcement
The Bank of Canada will make its latest interest rate announcement on Wednesday. The central bank's policy rate is set at 2.75 per cent. Financial markets are predicting the central bank will cut its key rate by a quarter of a percentage point.
AI symposium
Ivey Business School’s Lawrence ºÃÉ«tv Centre for Policy & Management will hold a symposium on artificial intelligence in Toronto on Thursday. The meeting will look at how Canada can lead the world in AI adoption. Former Bank of Canada governor Stephen Poloz is expected to give a keynote address.
