For the first time in more than a year, the Bank of Canada decided not to raise their trend setting interest rate on Wednesday, it’ll stay at 4.5%.
The bank had hiked the rate eight consecutive times before Wednesday’s announcement – citing inflation as the reason behind the repeated increases.
The next Bank of Canada policy announcement is expected on April 12.
We have maintained our policy interest rate at 4.50%.
