加拿大央行昨天宣布今年第四次下調隔夜利率，降幅為50個基點。新的隔夜利率為3.75%。這次降息對加拿大人來說是好消息，特別是對房主和企業有很大的幫助。
加拿大政府表示，這次降息顯示了我們經濟計劃的成效。隨著利率下降，房貸變得更加負擔得起，特別是對於需要續貸的房主和首次購房者。這次降息也讓加拿大成為G7國家中首個四次降息的國家，顯示了我們在全球經濟中的領先地位。
自2024年以來，加拿大的通脹率一直保持在央行的目標範圍內，現在已降至1.6%，創下3.5年來的最低點。加拿大也是G7國家中首個四次降息的國家，這一舉措有助於進一步穩定經濟，促進就業和經濟增長。此外，加拿大的經濟增長在G7國家中表現突出，預計明年將成為G7中增長最快的經濟體。
我們政府將繼續採取負責任的財政政策，支持央行的獨立性，並確保所有加拿大人有更多的經濟機會和支持。

News Release: Bank of Canada Lowers Interest Rates for the Fourth Time by 50 Basis Points
Dear Media Friends,
Yesterday, the Bank of Canada announced its fourth interest rate cut this year, lowering the overnight rate by 50 basis points. The new overnight rate is now 3.75%. This rate cut is good news for Canadians, particularly homeowners and businesses, providing significant relief.
The Canadian government stated that this rate cut demonstrates the success of our economic plan. As interest rates decrease, mortgages are becoming more affordable, especially for those renewing their loans or buying their first homes. This move also makes Canada the first G7 country to lower rates four times, highlighting our leadership in the global economy.
Since 2024, Canada’s inflation rate has remained within the Bank of Canada’s target range and has now dropped to 1.6%, the lowest in 3.5 years. Canada is also the first G7 country to cut interest rates four times, a move that will help further stabilize the economy, support job creation, and promote economic growth. Additionally, Canada’s economic growth has been strong among G7 nations, and it is expected to be the fastest-growing economy in the G7 next year.
Our government will continue to pursue responsible fiscal policies, support the Bank of Canada’s independence, and ensure that all Canadians have greater economic opportunities and support.
