Bank of Canada keeps overnight rate at 2.25% as economy stagnates

For the fifth consecutive announcement, Canada’s central bank leaves the key lending rate untouched

In its fourth scheduled announcement of 2026, the Bank of Canada held the target for the overnight lending rate at 2.25%. This marks the fifth consecutive hold to interest rates since October of last year.

As the conflict in the Middle East continues, elevated energy prices and ongoing supply chain pressures are contributing to higher inflation, even as Canada’s economy remains soft. While employment levels have remained relatively stable, economic growth has weakened and uncertainty surrounding United States trade policy persists, factors that influenced the Bank’s decision to keep the key lending rate at its current level this month. 

“Since our April decision, the economic impact of the ongoing conflict in the Middle East has increased. Higher energy prices and disruptions in global supply chains are weighing on global growth and pushing up inflation. At the same time, the US administration continues to propose new tariffs and trade policy uncertainty remains elevated,” said Tiff Macklem, Governor of the Bank of Canada, in a press conference with reporters following the announcement. “Against this backdrop, the Canadian economy has remained soft and inflation has increased. Monetary policy continues to be focused on ensuring higher energy prices do not turn into persistent inflation, while helping the economy adjust to headwinds. We are committed to keeping inflation low and stable over time.

“Economic weakness combined with rising inflation is a dilemma for monetary policy. Raising rates to dampen inflation could further slow the economy. Easing rates to support growth increases the risk that higher inflation becomes persistent. For now, holding the policy rate unchanged balances those risks.”

Canada’s economy is caught between competing pressures. Statistics Canada reported that GDP contracted 0.1% on an annualized basis in Q1 2026, confirming a technical recession. At the same time, inflation has edged higher; the Consumer Price Index (CPI) rose 2.8% year over year in April, up from 2.4% in March, driven largely by higher gasoline prices. That increase reflects both ongoing geopolitical tensions and a base effect from April 2025, when the removal of the federal consumer carbon levy had temporarily suppressed fuel costs. Meanwhile, the labour market has shown some resilience, with the unemployment rate dipping to 6.6% in May.

Stable borrowing costs underpin gradual market recovery

With the overnight rate holding steady, buyers entering the market can do so with a clearer sense of what borrowing will cost them. Variable mortgage rates will remain predictable in the near term, removing one layer of uncertainty from the purchase decision. For those who have been waiting on the sidelines, that stability – even in the absence of a rate cut – may be enough to prompt a move.

“The Bank of Canada finds itself balancing conflicting economic signals. On one hand, May’s employment report delivered a surprisingly strong 156,000 new full-time jobs. On the other, Canada has now entered a technical recession following two consecutive quarters of economic contraction. Add to that the uncertainty surrounding the ongoing CUSMA review, which continues to weigh on consumer and business confidence, and the Bank’s decision to hold rates becomes easier to understand,” said Phil Soper, president and CEO, Royal LePage®. 

“There is a silver lining in the current state of Canada’s housing market. Stable borrowing costs are helping to restore buyer confidence, and we are beginning to see sales momentum build in many regions across the country. Provided the broader economic environment does not deteriorate further, we expect the recovery to strengthen through the second half of the year.”

According to the Royal LePage House Price Survey and Market Forecast, the aggregate1 price of a home in Canada decreased 2.0% year over year to $812,900 in the first quarter of 2026. On a quarter-over-quarter basis, however, the national aggregate home price remained relatively flat, increasing just 0.7%.

The Bank of Canada will make its next interest rate announcement on July 15th, 2026.

Bank of Canada Interest Rate Announcement - June 10, 2026

The Bank of Canada maintained its overnight policy rate at 2.25 per cent this morning. In the statement accompanying the decision, the Bank noted a dampening of economic conditions since its most recent projections in April, citing weakness in government spending, housing activity, and business investment, accompanied by rebuilding inventories and (somewhat) anomalous increases in imports. However, the Bank expects growth to resume in the second quarter, albeit at a relatively weak pace. As the Iran conflict enters its fourth month, CPI inflation rose to 2.8 per cent in April, largely aligning with the Bank’s expectations as the oil price shock places severe pressure on energy prices. However, the Bank has found limited evidence of broad pass-through of higher oil prices into other products, as core inflation remains around 2 per cent, which is a leading factor in the Bank’s policy response to the conflict. Taken together, inflation is still expected to remain around 3 per cent before moderating towards 2 per cent over time. As a result, the Bank is continuing to look through the short-term impact of the conflict on headline inflation, but stands ready to adjust its policy rate if there are signs of persistence and transmission into the prices of other goods.

 

Weaknesses in the Canadian economy and labour market paired with inflationary pressure from the Iran War continue to place the Bank of Canada in an increasingly difficult position. Central Banks traditionally respond to supply shocks akin to the closure of the Strait of Hormuz by evaluating their duration and depth. While temporary spikes in commodity prices can be looked through if policymakers believe their effects will fade, persistent increases in energy costs are more likely to permeate through the economy and affect inflation expectations, forcing a policy response. Under that circumstance, the Bank of Canada may be compelled to raise its policy rate despite domestic weaknesses, creating a stagflationary economic backdrop. Thus far, the Bank has held its policy rate since the outset of the Iran conflict, as inflation has not (yet) spiked to projected levels. However, should subsequent CPI prints show rapid price acceleration, the Bank would be largely cornered into responding with tighter policy to quell further inflation.  



That said, we do expect the Bank to look through this supply shock and hold its policy rate at 2.25 per cent this year. However, if growth and inflation follow the Bank’s current outlook, we anticipate the policy rate will rise back to the midpoint of the Bank’s neutral range, 2.75 per cent, by the end of 2027.

School Spotlight:  Home Quest - District-Wide Program

Delta’s Home Quest program is a collaborative partnership between the BC Ministry of Education and Child Care, the Delta School District and families seeking an alternative to traditional classroom-based instruction. The program is designed for students living throughout British Columbia in Kindergarten to Grade 9.

Home Quest is a Provincial Online School that offers students a range of online and in-person opportunities to enhance and broaden their educational experiences. Students have the option to engage in both teacher-led learning through in-person and virtual class in combination with self-directed at home learning that is led by a home facilitator and supported by HQ staff. We are a blended, choice program.

Home Quest students have access to Delta School District’s teachers, educational resources, provincial curriculum materials, and optional hands-on learning experiences. We support families in maintaining effective learning and assessment practices. We offer flexible learning opportunities, while following the guidelines of the BC Ministry of Education and Child Care for Provincial Online Learning.

Home Quest students are provided with online learning activities and courses through the Brightspace platform. Teachers offer both in-person and virtual classes, as well as a weekly outdoor class option. When not attending an optional weekly class, students learn with the guidance of a Home Facilitator which is supplied by the family. Together, the student and Home Facilitator (which tends to be a parent or family member) explore the curriculum independently at home with resources approved by the Home Quest teacher. Home Facilitators are responsible for uploading and providing evidence of learning to their Home Quest teacher. Formal Delta School District report cards and feedback on student progress are provided through the Home Quest program.

Home Quest

As you begin researching Online Learning programs, you will find Home Quest is unique. At Home Quest, we are focused on flexibility and blending the family’s vision of education with the Ministry guidelines.

Home Quest is a blended program, sitting in the middle of the continuum between Traditional and Homeschool and between Homeschool and strictly Online Learning. We are a Provincial Online School and thereby follow the Provincial Online Guidelines set out by the Ministry of Education. See Online Learning BC

Our professional, B.C. certified teachers are experienced in the Online, Traditional and Homeschool educational models and philosophies. We are open-minded and creative in assisting a family with their journey. Home Quest does not assign a set curriculum to our community of learners, but helps to create each student’s path – one child and one family at a time, creating the ultimate in diversified learning. 

Part of the Delta School District, we are located on the bottom floor at Annieville Elementary located in North Delta. 9240 112 Street Delta BC.

Our outdoor program works to explore our community from and Indigenous Perspective through the Naut sa’ Mawt and First Peoples Principles of Learning. We spend our mornings investigating, observing the land and living things that inhabit the area. Our afternoons often involve time in our story studio creating, connecting and sharing.
