Release windowWhere Bank of Canada rate announcement lands in the trading day
What it measuresBank of Canada rate announcement, in one paragraph
The Bank of Canada rate announcement states the target for the overnight rate, the policy rate that anchors the cost of short-term Canadian-dollar borrowing. The Bank publishes eight fixed announcement dates each year and releases the decision at 09:45 Eastern Time.
What JMM reads first
The decision is only half the event. Read the statement for what changed in the Bank’s inflation and growth balance, then compare that language with the prior statement. Four meetings also carry a Monetary Policy Report, and those are the dates when the forecast path matters as much as the rate itself.
The series this release carries Where bank of canada target for the overnight rate stands right now
JMM's latest reading of this series covers the August 2026 reference period, read straight from the Bank of Canada public API on the collection run below. The reference period is the month a value describes, not the day it was published, and the two are never the same month for a series like this one.
