US EditionBank of Canada cuts key interest rate to 2.25%
- On Oct. 29, 2025, the Bank of Canada lowered its key interest rate by 25 basis points to 2.25 per cent.
- After months without forecasts, the central bank had cut its benchmark to 2.25 per cent in September amid trade disruptions and will publish an updated outlook in a new monetary policy report.
- Financial markets and many economists had expected the bank to deliver a second cut, as inflation rose half a point to 2.4 per cent in September, Porter said.
- The bank's governing council voted for the second consecutive cut and fourth this year, while Governor Tiff Macklem suggested the easing cycle may be ending to keep inflation near 2 per cent.
- Longer-Term forecasts indicate the bank estimates Canada's gross domestic product will be about 1.5 percentage points smaller next year due to U.S. tariffs, describing the weakness as a structural transition.
