flag Canada's central bank cut interest rates in October 2025, citing weak growth and soft labor market, despite debate over timing.

flag The Bank of Canada cut its key interest rate by 0.25 percentage points to 2.25% in October 2025, marking its second consecutive reduction, despite internal debate over timing. flag Officials agreed a cut was needed due to weak growth, a soft labor market, and inflation near the 2% target, but some urged delay to assess impacts from U.S. tariffs and the federal budget. flag The central bank resumed issuing formal forecasts, projecting 0.75% GDP growth in the second half of 2025, driven by consumer spending, housing, and government spending. flag Governor Tiff Macklem emphasized fiscal policy’s role in addressing trade-related challenges, noting current deficits aren’t fueling inflation. flag The next rate decision is set for December 10.
