Bank of Canada to make interest rate decision as trade uncertainty swirls

Jul 30, 2025 | 2:01 AM

OTTAWA — The Bank of Canada is expected to make an interest rate decision this morning.

Economists and financial markets widely expect the central bank will keep its policy rate steady at 2.75 per cent.

A surprisingly strong June jobs report and signs of stubbornness in core inflation convinced many economists the bank would remain on hold.

The Bank of Canada left its key rate unchanged at its two most recent decisions as it waits for more clarity on how Canada’s tariff dispute with the United States will affect inflation and the economy.

The rate decision will come with a new monetary policy report where the central bank is expected to share its outlook for the economy as trade uncertainty persists.
