Unchanged Rate from Bank of Canada

As expected, the Bank of Canada held its overnight rate. This announcement is good news for those who are looking for a mortgage or mortgage renewal in the near future. We continue to have competitive rates from our lenders.

Key Highlights from the Bank of Canada:

  • Housing market activity pulled back from recent high levels, largely as expected.
  • The Bank continues to expect the economy to strengthen in the second half of 2021
  • The fourth wave of COVID-19 infections and ongoing supply bottlenecks could weigh on the recovery.
  • CPI inflation remains above 3 percent as expected

“We remain committed to holding the policy interest rate at the effective lower bound until economic slack is absorbed so that the 2 percent inflation target is sustainably achieved.” (Bank of Canada)
