2022年的通货膨胀和利率上升降低了大多数加拿大人的购买力,特别是低收入家庭的购买力。 2022 inflation and interest rate hikes reduced purchasing power for most Canadians, particularly lower-income households.

加拿大议会预算官员的一份报告指出,2022年以来的通货膨胀和不断上升的利率降低了大多数加拿大人的购买力,尤其影响到低收入家庭。 A report from Canada's Parliamentary Budget Officer indicates that inflation and rising interest rates since 2022 have reduced the purchasing power of most Canadians, especially affecting lower-income households. 相反,由于政府转移、工资增加和投资净收入,富裕家庭的购买力增加。 In contrast, wealthier households have seen an increase in purchasing power due to government transfers, wage gains, and net investment income. 最富有的20%已经超过通货膨胀,而低收入家庭则难以获得基本必需品。 The wealthiest 20% have outpaced inflation, while lower-income families struggle to afford basic necessities.
