|
The US Senate has approved a rescue bill designed to prop up America's battered housing market.

Monday 21 July 2008 OTTAWA: CENTRAL BANK SEES ECONOMIC SURGE
The Bank of Canada's latest economic update paints an upbeat picture after the negative growth recorded in the first quarter. The central bank says the economy has rebounded and grew by .8 per cent in the second quarter ending June 30. It forecasts growth of 1.3 per cent and 1.8 per cent in the third and fourth quarter respectively and 2.8 per cent for the first half of next year. The Bank of Canada's Monetary Policy Report attributes the growth in great part to high prices for many of Canada's commodities, including oil, natural gas, minerals, potash and grains. The central bank says those prices will lead to higher wages and salaries, higher government revenues, higher corporate profits and stronger investment.
