Bank of Canada Lowers Interest Rates by A Quarter Point

After leaving interest rates unchanged for three straight meetings, the Bank of Canada on Wednesday announced to lower rates by a quarter point. The Bank of Canada said it decided to reduce its target for the overnight rate by 25 basis points to 2.5%, with the Bank rate at 2.75% and the deposit rate at 2.45%.

The Canadian central bank's Governing Council said that it determined a rate cut was appropriate to better balance the risks amid signs of weakness in the economy and less upside risk to inflation. The decision to lower rates came as Canadian GDP declined by about 1.5% in the second quarter, with tariffs and trade uncertainty weighing heavily on economic activity. The bank also noted that Canadian employment has declined in the past two months. 09/17/2025 - 11:23:00 (RTTNews)
