The Bank of Canada jacked up its trendsetting interest rate by three-quarters of a percentage point last Wednesday to 3.25 per cent.
That alone may be enough for a business to put the brakes on any capital expenditure, but even if it does have the available cash and doesn’t need a loan or the line of credit, it’s going to cost significantly more due to inflation, the reason for the rising interest rates.
In the wake of the Covid-19 pandemic, both consumers and businesses are often building up considerable debt, or cutting back on expenses.
Have rising interest rates/inflation caused the golf business where you work to delay a major capital expenditure that was considered for 2023?
