The seven-member interest rate decision committee concluded that two key reasons were the unpredictability of US trade policy and the recent volatility in economic data. At the December meeting, the committee agreed to maintain the interest rate at 2.25%, believing that this level was appropriate to keep inflation near the central banks 2% target, given that the current economic outlook was largely in line with expectations. The Bank of Canada stated that it was prepared to take further action if necessary, whether to curb price increases or boost the weak economy. Money markets predicted that the Bank of Canadas next move would be a 25 basis point rate hike, possibly as early as October 2026. The minutes also showed that the Governing Council considered the 2026 review of the USMCA (United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement) a "significant risk," and the uncertainty of the outcome could dampen business investment.
