Canada’s central bank published on Feb. 8 a summary of internal deliberations that led to its latest policy rate hike of Jan. 25, a first for the institution in a bid to increase transparency.

The account states that the Bank of Canada’s (BoC) governing council began its discussions on whether to maintain or raise the rate by reviewing international events.
