OTTAWA - Economists say Canadians could be enjoying historically low interest rates on loans for cars and homes for quite a long time.

Since June, the Bank of Canada has been attempting to "normalize" interest rates, hiking its policy rate by one point.

But economists say recent developments in the global economy — and to some extent in Canada — have not to been good, nor supportive of monetary tightening regardless of what central bankers want.

Those developments, which include the Irish debt crisis and the U.S. resorting to printing money to prime its economic pump, have put Bank of Canada governor Mark Carney in a tight spot.

Economists say he wants to keep hiking rates because he fears Canadians will borrow beyond their means, particularly to buy homes.

However, they say events beyond his control mean it could be a year before Carney will regain the freedom to touch interest rates again.

别太认真,笑笑罢了。
