demand for money will rapidly diminish particularly as the economies slow down in the other hand many consumers ill start to save money rather than spend it to protect themselves againt possible unemployment These savings increase the supply of bank deposits which can be invested in bonds and motgages in Canada the seasonal influx of Registered Retirement Sayings Plan dollars also increase the supply of toanable funds Already due to these factors we have seen two trust companies decrease their interest rate and one trust company lower its mortgage rates in conclusion believe that the prime interest rates in both Canada and the have reached their peak and should start low in early January The highest yields in Treasury bills and government bonds probably occurred two ceks ago
