Bank of Canada Holds Rates Steady: What It Means for Your Real Estate Plans
The Bank of Canada announced today that it is maintaining its key policy interest rate at 2.25%, providing continued stability for Canadians navigating today's housing market.
While global economic uncertainty remains elevated due to ongoing geopolitical tensions and higher energy prices, the Bank has chosen to keep rates unchanged as inflation trends move closer to its long-term target and economic growth remains moderate.
