The Bank Rate is correspondingly 3\/4 percent and the deposit rate is 1\/4 percent.<\/p>\n<p>Economic data suggest that global economic conditions have strengthened, as the Bank anticipated in its October <em>Monetary Policy Report<\/em> (MPR). However, uncertainty, which has been undermining business confidence and dampening investment in Canada\u2019s major trading partners, remains undiminished. Following the election in the United States, there has been a rapid back-up in global bond yields, partly reflecting market anticipation of fiscal expansion in a US economy that is near full capacity. Canadian yields have risen significantly in this context.<\/p>\n<p>In Canada, the dynamics of growth are large as the Bank anticipated. Following a very weak first half of 2016, growth in the third quarter rebounded strongly, but more moderate growth is anticipated in the fourth quarter. Consumption growth was robust in the third quarter, supported by the new Canada Child Benefit, while the effects of federal infrastructure spending are not yet evident in the GDP data. Meanwhile, business investment and non-energy goods exports continue to disappoint. There have been ongoing gains in employment, but a significant amount of economic slack remains in Canada, in contrast to the United States. While household imbalances continue to rise, these will be mitigated over time by announced changes to housing finance rules.<\/p>\n<p>Total CPI inflation has picked up in recent months but is slightly below expectations, largely because of lower food prices. Core inflation is close to 2 percent because the effect of persistent economic slack is still being offset by that of past exchange rate depreciation, although the latter effect is dissipating.<\/p>\n<p>Overall, the Bank\u2019s Governing Council judges that the current stance of monetary policy remains appropriate. Therefore, the target for the overnight rate remains at 1\/2 percent.<\/p>\n<p>Click the following link if you would like to learn about the <a href=\"\/?page_id=36742\">Quebec Mortgage rate<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>SOURCE BoC Media Relations<\/p>\n<p>For historic rate announcements\u00a0please <a href=\"\/?p=36455\">click here<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Bank of Canada today announced that it is maintaining its target for the overnight rate at 1\/2 percent.
