Bank of Canada Deputy Governor Toni Gravelle said February's inflation figures were "very encouraging," as consumer prices cooled to 2.8% - the lowest in eight months. While noting the positive trend, Gravelle emphasized that the central bank would consider a broader set of data before their next interest rate announcement on April 10.
