According to data from the Bank of Canada, the financial market conditions in the country are improving. As a result, the regulator has announced changes to its supportive measures.

At the same time, the BOC will pay particular attention to the housing sector to prevent speculations amid the low interest rate. That means, the interest rate will likely stay unchanged at 0.25% during this meeting. What’s interesting is the bank’s plans for the upcoming months and the forecasts in the statement.
