Will Rising Interest Rates/Inflation Cause Golf Businesses To Back Off On Major Capital Expenditures?

September 11, 2022 By Ian Hutchinson

 

The Bank of Canada jacked up interest rates again last week. Is that and inflation causing business owners to back off any major capital expenditures?

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?

That’s the question in this week’s GNN Poll.
