- On Wednesday, Dec. 10, 2025 the Bank of Canada will announce its final interest-rate decision of 2025 at 9:45 a.m. eastern time followed by a press conference led by Governor Tiff Macklem.

- Uncertainty into 2026 frames debate over when the next move will come, with at least one economist saying any near-term change would likely be a hike, while the U.S. Federal Reserve is more likely to lower rates today.
