The Bank of Canada has announced it is maintaining the benchmark rate, noting that Canada’s economic recovery will continue to require extraordinary monetary policy support. The Bank says it will hold the policy interest rate at the effective lower bound until economic slack is absorbed so that the two per cent inflation target is achieved, which the Bank doesn’t expect to happen until sometime in 2023.
