SFU Experts available for Bank of Canada’s Interest Rate Announcement

The Bank of Canada is scheduled to make an announcement on the interest rate tomorrow (Wednesday, July 12) alongside its next full outlook for the economy and inflation. With many economists predicting the rate to increase by another 25-basis points and peak at five per cent, further impacts to the housing market are anticipated. SFU experts are available to speak on the impacts of rising costs.
