Lending Rate Will Remain 0.25% in Canada

Finance World News Update by EQUITIES Magazine

The Bank of Canada is keeping its benchmark interest rate at the record low and said it will keep it there through June.

 

The target rate for overnight loans between commercial banks remains 0.25 percent.

 

“Considerable excess supply remains” and inflation were the reasons the bank gave for keeping the rate below policy makers’ 2 percent target.
