Canada Holds Rate at 2.25%

BoC keeps interest rate at 2.25%, citing improving economic growth and expectations that inflation will gradually ease over coming months.

Inflation recently increased but core measures remain near target, with projections showing decline to 2.5% in late 2026 and 2% by 2027.

Risks include Middle East conflict and U.S. trade uncertainty; next policy meeting expected September 2026, where officials may reassess rates direction.
