Bank of Canada rate decision offers little relief to homeowners facing mortgage renewals
The Bank of Canada gave borrowers no relief in Wednesday’s rate decision, leaving many homeowners facing higher mortgage payments when they renew their loans this year.
The central bank left its benchmark rate unchanged at 2.75 per cent, which means mortgage rates are still higher than they were five years ago when thousands of Canadians borrowed at record low costs.
