Rachel Ward

Rachel Ward is an economic writer based in Canada who focuses on how monetary policy, labor markets, and corporate decisions translate into household costs. Over the past decade, she has reported on inflation dynamics, housing affordability, and energy-driven price swings for Canadian audiences, drawing on both public data and on-the-ground interviews with economists, policymakers, and business leaders. Her work has appeared in national and regional newsrooms, where she helped launch explainers that make complex topics—such as yield curves, productivity trends, and trade impacts—more accessible without losing analytical rigor. Rachel regularly contributes commentary during major earnings and central-bank events, and her reporting is known for clear sourcing and balanced context. She also mentors junior journalists on data verification and responsible visualization, and she has built a reputation for turning spreadsheets into stories people can actually use in their everyday decisions.
