This summer, Bank of Canada has risen its interest rate a quarter percent more, to reach 0,75%. It had not increased since 2010.
Canadian economy is doing well: 350 000 jobs were created, the unemployment rate has been reduced to reach 6.5% in June and a GDP growth of 2,8% is forecast for this year. Even if household indebtedness is still strong, their expenses contributed significantly to the canadian economy growth and its current state that the bank qualifies as « solid ».
The interest rate rise shouldn’t affect consumers finances. However, it will affect owners who will see their monthly mortgage payments increase by a few tens of dollars linked to the banks’ prime rates.
A second quarter-point increase is expected in the fall, bringing the interest rate to one per cent.
This rise won’t impact Medicapital’s rate which will stay fixed.
