KEYNOTE SPEAKER TO PHH FLEET SYMPOSIUM ATTENDEES: “DON’T EXPECT AN INTEREST RATE RISE IN NEXT 12 MONTHS”
Benjamin Tal, Managing Director and Deputy Chief Economist, CIBC World Markets told PHH Fleet Symposium attendees not to expect an interest rate rise in the next 12 months as part of his keynote address. Citing a period of “unusual uncertainty” Tal identified a number of indicators that suggest Canadian interest rates will not rise despite inflation rising to an eight year high spurred on by rising fuel prices.

Tal’s presentation was part of PHH’s annual fleet symposium which this year included industry, used vehicle and fuel strategy updates as well as a fleet user panel session on reducing cost and risk in the fleet. The symposium featured a ride and drive with vehicles from 15 OEM’s on display and available to test drive and a showcase for PHH fleet suppliers.
