What is BoC Business Outlook?
The Bank of Canada Business Outlook Survey is a quarterly survey of Canadian firms covering sales, capex, hiring, and inflation expectations. It is the BoC's headline corporate-sentiment input.
Why it matters for FX
Because the BoC explicitly cites the survey in policy statements, surprises in the headline outlook, capacity-pressure indicator, or inflation-expectations sub-index can shift CAD pricing of the BoC path.
How to read this page
Track the future-sales balance and the capacity-pressure indicator. Inflation-expectations sub-components are watched closely by the BoC.
