๐ Bank of Canada Lowers Interest Rates to 2.75% ๐จ๐ฆ๐ฐ
The Bank of Canada has reduced its overnight rate to 2.75%, citing economic uncertainty driven by global trade tensions. While Canada entered 2025 with strong growth and inflation near 2%, rising tariffs and slowing US growth are increasing economic risks.

The Bank will continue monitoring inflation and economic trends closely. The next rate announcement is scheduled for April 16, 2025.
