The Bank of Canada lowered its key interest rate by half a percentage point today but signalled a slower pace of rate cuts moving forward.

The decision marked the fifth consecutive reduction since June and brings the central bank’s key rate down to 3.25 per cent.

Forecasters were widely expecting the jumbo interest rate cut after the November labour force survey showed the unemployment rate rose to 6.8 per cent.
