Bank of Canada Holds 2.25% Key Rate

The Bank of Canada has chosen to keep its key interest rate steady at 2.25%, pointing to ongoing economic recovery and heightened inflation risks. With Canada’s GDP rising by 3.3% in Q2 and unemployment declining to 6.4% in July, these signals highlight the dynamic environment we’re navigating. The next rate decision will arrive on October 28, 2026, when the Bank will once again review inflation and the broader economic picture.
