The Bank of Canada has decided to maintain their overnight policy for the first time in a year - holding their rate of 4.5% . As some industry leaders have predicted - The small interest increase in January may be the first and only hike of the year as inflation is slowing.

The next interest rate update is scheduled for April 12th. We are beyond ecstatic to see what the Spring Market has in store for Canadians.
