The Bank of Canada announced today that it is raising its policy interest rate 25 basis points from 2.25% to 2.50%. This marks the Bank’s first rate increase since the summer of 2023.

For British Columbians already facing affordability challenges, higher borrowing costs add another hurdle to buying a home or keeping up with mortgage payments.

“British Columbians are already stretched thin, and higher borrowing costs create another challenge for families who are doing everything they can to get ahead,” says CMBA-BC President Tricia McIntosh.

While managing inflation remains important, CMBA-BC emphasizes the need for policies that support housing affordability, rebuild economic confidence, and help more British Columbians achieve homeownership.
