Bank of Canada Governor Stephen Poloz says the central bank may discuss the interest rate that would keep the economy at full output, a rate he said has been lowered following the global recession.

The central bank is researching what economists call a neutral interest rate, and will discuss the issue in the next quarterly economic forecast paper due in October, Poloz said in an interview aired today on CBC Radio’s “The Current” program.
