Bank of Canada Prime Interest Rate Announcement April 2012
The Bank of Canada has announced that the key overnight interest rate will stay at 1.00%. This was widely expected due to continuing bad news from Europe and the Bank’s desire to keep the Canadian dollar from increasing too rapidly.
What does this mean for mortgage rates? Canadian mortgage rates are near all-time lows and will not stay at these levels for much longer. Interest rates are predicted to rise by the fall of 2012. To see how low current rates are, check out today’s best mortgage rates here.
