Welcome to the Canadian National Multilingual News Group (CNMNG). This is a project made possible through funding by Canadian Heritage. CNMNG aims to gather news researched and written by a corps of Canadian-based journalists/writers from the country’s multilingual community groups. The overall goal is to inform, analyze and critique the issues of the day in a professional manner and to provide that to publishers and editors active in the ethnocultural-multilingual press and media whose experience provides them with a perspective that is sensitive to news relevant to their own language group.

TORONTO – La Bank of Canada ha alzato il tasso di interesse di altri 0,75 punti base, portandolo al 3,25 per cento dal 2,5 per cento. È l’ennesimo di una serie di rialzi iniziati a marzo: da allora, la banca centrale canadese ha alzato il tasso di riferimento di 3,00 punti base, ad un ritmo che non si vedeva dalla metà degli anni ’90. L’obiettivo, secondo la banca stessa, è quello di “riportare l’inflazione al suo obiettivo del 2 per cento”…
