Bank of Canada Interest Rate Announcement December 2010
As expected, the Bank of Canada has announced that they will be holding the key overnight lending rate at 1.00%
The rate is expected to remain at this level for some time due to worse than expected economic conditions.
The Bank of Canada said the economic recovery slowdown is due to disappointing productivity gains and the strong loonie, which makes Canadian goods more expensive in foreign markets.
“This underlines a previously identified risk that a combination of disappointing productivity performance and persistent strength in the Canadian dollar could dampen the expected recovery of net exports,” the central bank said in a release.

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.

“Bank Governor Mark Carney has long signaled the need to hike national borrowing costs in order to rein in economic activity and reduce inflationary pressures. But now, economists believe the central bank will hold rates steady at one per cent after Wednesday’s boost. TD is forecasting the bank’s rate at one per cent until at least the second quarter of 2011. The Bank of Montreal figures Canada’s one per cent interest to last even longer, until the July-to-September period in 2011.”
