L\u2019inflation sous-jacente a augment\u00e9 pour atteindre la cible de 2 % et la croissance des salaires s\u2019est am\u00e9lior\u00e9e, ce qui a amen\u00e9 la Banque du Canada \u00e0 relever son taux directeur de 25 points de base en janvier et encore une fois en juillet.","highlights":null},"updated_at":"2021-08-25T20:28:34.000000Z","type":"RP","slug":"RP-1819-382--economic-fiscal-outlook-october-2018-revised-oct-31-2018--perspectives-economiques-financieres-octobre-2018-revise-31-octobre-2018","permalinks":{"en":{"website":"https:\/\/www.pbo-dpb.ca\/en\/publications\/RP-1819-382--economic-fiscal-outlook-october-2018-revised-oct-31-2018--perspectives-economiques-financieres-octobre-2018-revise-31-octobre-2018","preview":"https:\/\/www.pbo-dpb.ca\/en\/publications\/RP-1819-382--economic-fiscal-outlook-october-2018-revised-oct-31-2018--perspectives-economiques-financieres-octobre-2018-revise-31-octobre-2018"},"fr":{"website":"https:\/\/www.pbo-dpb.ca\/fr\/publications\/RP-1819-382--economic-fiscal-outlook-october-2018-revised-oct-31-2018--perspectives-economiques-financieres-octobre-2018-revise-31-octobre-2018","preview":"https:\/\/www.pbo-dpb.ca\/fr\/publications\/RP-1819-382--economic-fiscal-outlook-october-2018-revised-oct-31-2018--perspectives-economiques-financieres-octobre-2018-revise-31-octobre-2018"}},"artifacts":{"main":{"en":{"public":"https:\/\/distribution-a617274656661637473.pbo-dpb.ca\/6c1a89fbab845887611163d6f0042e2c6985d991c3daaacb56af2617ed878bc2"},"fr":{"public":"https:\/\/distribution-a617274656661637473.pbo-dpb.ca\/aaa2897467250be35e680889ebb576afe9e0540ac6a4ba660599fa671f996683"}}},"coverpages":{"distribution":{"fr":{"small":"https:\/\/distribution-i696d61676573.pbo-dpb.ca\/a2f833a3e0d713ee1d6f08183d85ccd96e1bdb738b6712d882f6405ba5d2a4ca","large":"https:\/\/distribution-i696d61676573.pbo-dpb.ca\/bfec691c553974bd79f00e53c712e931731c70cd3ec5341b01ad3aac1ac86572","h150_png_optimized":"https:\/\/distribution-i696d61676573.pbo-dpb.ca\/2340fd6887ff86b783c91dee5054b1d189e43ce599fa9c53caa96750af23d3af","h150_webp":"https:\/\/distribution-i696d61676573.pbo-dpb.ca\/9249784921a8f2c41496d08939c0af6810158c582b8dc2b3366e952051f8cc26","h300_png_optimized":"https:\/\/distribution-i696d61676573.pbo-dpb.ca\/da4b723a4e72effbf8140c58588a9949c47dd2e7b2f6a3054e6d837d26af31cb","h300_webp":"https:\/\/distribution-i696d61676573.pbo-dpb.ca\/28abba4465c4b794d46a671bf1d2e50f10414f78442148e1fc71951b459dfd55","h600_png_optimized":"https:\/\/distribution-i696d61676573.pbo-dpb.ca\/d1a0c1a30a850227530790243d7be92213505e16e6877bba869c62cbc83ba188","h600_webp":"https:\/\/distribution-i696d61676573.pbo-dpb.ca\/c5c1f0c389f1ef63220064ce95dcac5f2de135f6a4cb368de3e577e59fe08abc"},"en":{"small":"https:\/\/distribution-i696d61676573.pbo-dpb.ca\/25408903f956fd484640e2a810c33282d41ee98ed3cec39e7088b282f55a8ffb","large":"https:\/\/distribution-i696d61676573.pbo-dpb.ca\/5730d54134198f7a984c0c3bb7c6f09e37d5247853da2fd108a12d4ebd62a600","h150_png_optimized":"https:\/\/distribution-i696d61676573.pbo-dpb.ca\/188fa29b08a7af72a79167aaace3fe4617c0e836daadec292d8abb73ec0329be","h150_webp":"https:\/\/distribution-i696d61676573.pbo-dpb.ca\/fbf1863d6b8d8d271345b8162ddd5c5ad156672c0b8eaa46b8a1b3d3c41f5dcc","h300_png_optimized":"https:\/\/distribution-i696d61676573.pbo-dpb.ca\/6c5bbdb98312796a0c680c630411caa701477d3bcdc6ab5d6cfc839237f33e36","h300_webp":"https:\/\/distribution-i696d61676573.pbo-dpb.ca\/40dcf78cd43a31e281840f74e6afdde0ff8c3c9c3399ff089cb6ca69d6bf01f9","h600_png_optimized":"https:\/\/distribution-i696d61676573.pbo-dpb.ca\/131f76d90c6ab10e00192949c9046712d5fcb0d77e06e7e80b056c5d472ba645","h600_webp":"https:\/\/distribution-i696d61676573.pbo-dpb.ca\/c7db7018e723fa13768c13e7c0f5d4d75087caf4dd970a120e1c06d748be038a"}}},"bills":[],"bibtex":{"en":"@techreport{PBO-RP1819382,\n author={Scholz, Tim and Shaw, Trevor and Bagnoli, Philip and Behrend, Robert and Bergeron, \\\u0027{E}tienne and Busby, Carleigh and Devakos, Tessa and Grinshpoon, Kristina and MacPhee, Sarah and Nahornick, Nora and Nicol, Caroline and Scutaru, Tiberiu and Wodrich, Nigel},\n title={Economic and Fiscal Outlook - October 2018 - Revised Oct. 31, 2018},\n institution={The Office of the Parliamentary Budget Officer},\n year=2018,\n \n address = \u0022Ottawa, ON\u0022\n}","fr":"@techreport{DPB-RP1819382,\n author={Scholz, Tim and Shaw, Trevor and Bagnoli, Philip and Behrend, Robert and Bergeron, \\\u0027{E}tienne and Busby, Carleigh and Devakos, Tessa and Grinshpoon, Kristina and MacPhee, Sarah and Nahornick, Nora and Nicol, Caroline and Scutaru, Tiberiu and Wodrich, Nigel},\n title={Perspectives \\\u0027{e}conomiques et financi\\`{e}res Octobre 2018 - R\\\u0027{e}vis\\\u0027{e} 31 octobre 2018},\n institution={Bureau du directeur parlementaire du budget},\n year=2018,\n \n address = \u0022Ottawa, ON\u0022\n}"}}
