Canada’s central bank will make an announcement today on its key interest rate and detail the impact of COVID-19 on the national economy.

The bank has slashed its trend-setting interest rate since the beginning of March, including two unscheduled cuts as an emergency move against the pandemic’s economic fallout.

There is general expectation among economists that the Bank of Canada will keep the target “overnight rate” at 0.25 per cent.

At the same time, the central bank will also release its view of the economic impact from COVID-19 and outlook for the domestic economy a day after the International Monetary Fund predicted Canada’s economy to contract by 6.2 per cent this year.
