Subtitle: A recent report by the Financial Planning Standards Council of Canada (FP Canada) offers a positive outlook for Canadians concerned about the current inflation rates
As a financial planner, I understand that the current economic climate can be a cause for concern for many Canadians. Rising inflation rates have left people questioning the future purchasing power of their hard-earned savings. However, recent projections from FP Canada offer some reassurance.
On April 28th, 2023, FP Canada, a leading organization in the field of financial planning, released their annual Projections Assumption Guidelines for financial planners in Canada. One of the most significant takeaways from the report is their maintained inflation rate assumption of 2.1%.
What does this mean for Canadians?
FP Canada's projection suggests that the best minds in finance in Canada believe the current inflation we are experiencing in 2022 and 2023 is transitory. In other words, this period of higher inflation is likely temporary and should eventually return to more typical levels.
For Canadians, this is good news, as it means that the purchasing power of their savings is less likely to be eroded by long-term inflation. As a financial planner, I can help you navigate these economic waters and ensure your financial decisions remain competitive.
Understanding Inflation
Inflation is the rate at which the general price level of goods and services in an economy is increasing over time. It affects the purchasing power of money, which means that as inflation rises, the value of a dollar decreases. When the inflation rate is high, the purchasing power of money diminishes, and the cost of living increases.
Why is the 2.1% inflation rate assumption important?
By maintaining the 2.1% inflation rate assumption, FP Canada is signaling that they believe the current inflation rates are likely to be short-lived. This assumption is based on a thorough analysis of economic trends and data by the top experts in the field. As a result, Canadians can reasonably expect that this disruption will pass, and the value of their savings will remain relatively stable.
