The Bank of Canada has maintained its benchmark interest rate at 2.25%, signaling a continued pause as it assesses inflation trends and broader economic conditions.


The decision reflects a balancing act between moderating inflation and signs of slowing economic momentum. For businesses and investors, the hold provides short-term stability in borrowing costs, while reinforcing a cautious outlook on rate movements in the near term.


For Calgary’s commercial real estate market, a stable rate environment supports underwriting assumptions and transaction planning, particularly for interest-sensitive asset classes and development financing.
