Bank of Canada takes new grim view of economy, slashes rate to 0.5 per cent
Tue Mar 3, 9:05 AM
The Canadian Press

OTTAWA - The Bank of Canada is cutting its trend-setting interest rate by another half point to uncharted territory - 0.5 per cent.

And the central bank says that likely won't be enough to spark the stalled economy. The bank says with the overnight rate so close to zero, it likely will have to move to non-traditional measures like buying up credit to provide additional stimulus.

Bank governor Mark Carney also is withdrawing his controversial rosy outlook for the economy's rebound.

He now suggests the recession will last longer than this summer and could hang on the entire year.

Soon they'll be giving you money to borrow money.

Ironman · 发表于 2009-3-3 08:48

I still do not think that the Bank of Canada is doing the right thing. I must still say that the exact opposite approach is what we Canadian consumers need to see happen and then maybe we will again have confidence in our system. Lets face it, so far the government has done nothing but frighten us into not spending and setting our maneyaside for some future time. They have not done one single thing that would make us want to go out and spend. I think we need to raise our interest rates to 5-7 % and then get all the foreign investors depositing they money here and getting a fair return. That also will give our economy the needed boost that will creat consumer spending and it will then spur the factories to again start producing. We are just being silly in our present path that follows the American plans, when we can make ourt own plan and pull out of this much sooner and stronger then it will happen to our south. Yes the USA are our biggest trading partners, but that is all in the past. We can and should now put lots of trade with the europeans and pacific rim, as a goal to make us even stronger when we come out of this. The USA will again be buying our resources once they climb out of this but that does not mean we should wait for them, at our own debtriment. New trade deals with new trade partners is what we should be looking for at this time. Lets face it China is making the most out of their situation and are now trying to lock up deals at bargain prices. They knwo they have a huge demand and yes while even they are sllow now they do not see things staying that way for long. Canada should not either.

The lowering of interst rates is trying to tell us that saving our money pays little if any interest, and that is wrong. It does only help the rich get more so

LZ, I haven't seen any reflections of this interest drop in your mortgate rate (from your website) .

Ironman · 发表于 2009-3-3 09:02

At least one of the banks followed suit (whee!). TD announced they are dropping their rate by 0.5%

May I ask Is the variable rate now 2.5+0.8?

TerryCheng · 发表于 2009-3-3 09:16

You mentioned "the government has done nothing but frighten us into not spending and setting our maneyaside for some future time. " I couldn't understand this. Dropping the interest rate usually wll stimulate spending, doesn't it? Which bank dare to increase their rate to 5-7 %? Who will borrow money from them?
They are doing the right thing because there is no other better choice, I guess.

Thanks for your reply.
So, it means the prime rate drop doesn't affect the fixed rate. I am in my learning stage for the mortgage stuff because I just started thinking of buying an equity. I will give you a call when I am ready.

It might stay for a long term period and won't change soon on my personal opinion.
