Bank of Canada Interest Rate Announcement October 19, 2010
The Bank of Canada has decided to leave the key overnight interest rates at the level set back in September, 1%. This is after 3 interest rate hikes in a row this year.
This is attributed to a cooling off of economic growth seen earlier this year. The fact that the U.S. economy is not yet showing signs of recovery may also be a factor in the interest rate decision.
Mortgage rates are not expected to change as a result of today’s announcement. There are still some great mortgage rates available through the updated ad on the right. A 5 year closed mortgage is offered at 3.45%. Try to get that at your bank.
