The Bank of Canada holds rates for a fifth consecutive review, as was expected by economists and the market.
Citing inflation fears and economic growth rebounding from the previous quarter, the Bank has decided that holding steady is the safest option; this choice was made rather than an increase to cool an overheated economy or a decrease to kickstart a frigid one.
We’ll have another review in August, but as things stand now, rates are likely to be held again unless something changes dramatically in the economy at home or abroad.
