Bank of Canada Rate Announcement - May 29th, 2013


As expected, there was no change in the Bank of Canada press release. Bank prime remains at 3%.  

This means no changes in variable rate mortgages or line of credit rates.

Five year money ranging from 2.79%-3.04% and 10 year money in the 3.69%-3.79% range.   

Below are the highlights of the Bank of Canada Announcement: 
  • "The Bank expects global economic activity to grow modestly in 2013 before strengthening over the following two years"
  • Canada's growth was stronger than initially projected in the first quarter
  • Growth in household credit is slowing.    
  • "Monetary policy stimulus currently in place will likely remain appropriate for a period of time"
