The LeRoy family has been volunteering in Senegal for over a decade.

They believe that keeping rates high is putting unnecessary pressure on the economy, and that a faster rate cut would help stabilize things before inflation risks pop back up.

To read more on their thoughts, check out this article we found interesting from the Globe and Mail.

The central bank’s mandate is to keep inflation stable and predictable; its primary tool is adjusting the policy interest rate
