Bank of Canada Holds Interest Rate Steady Amidst Economic Slowdown

 


The Bank of Canada has announced that it will maintain its benchmark interest rate at 5% as the economy shows signs of slowing down. This marks the fourth consecutive hold by the bank, and the decision was widely expected by economists. The central bank’s inflation target sits in the middle of a range, and the Consumer Price Index rose to 3.4% in December 2023. The bank has been signalling recently that it thinks it may be nearing the end of its hiking cycle, after raising its trendsetting rate 10 times since early 2022 to slow down runaway inflation.
