official update

Bank of Canada maintains the policy rate at 2¼%

Senior Deputy Governor Carolyn Rogers and Governor Tiff Macklem at the Bank of Canada's June 2026 press conference

The Bank of Canada held its target for the overnight rate at 2.25% on June 10, 2026. The Bank Rate remained 2.5% and the deposit rate remained 2.20%. The decision left all three rates unchanged.

The Bank cited weak Canadian activity, continued uncertainty around US trade policy and elevated oil prices. Its target overnight rate influences short-term funding conditions, but financial institutions set their own mortgage, loan, line-of-credit and savings rates; those consumer rates do not have to move automatically or immediately after a Bank decision.
