According to her prepared remarks, the senior deputy governor says mortgage costs have already gone up for some Canadians and warns they’ll likely go up for others as well. In a research paper released with the speech, the Bank of Canada estimated that about 50 per cent of variable-rate, fixed-payment mortgages have reached their trigger rate, the point where additional payments may be needed. That’s about 13 per cent of all Canadian mortgages.Rogers says risks around Canada’s financial stability are elevated because of high levels of household debt along with rising interest rates.
However, the senior deputy governor says the Bank of Canada expects the financial system as a whole to withstand this period of stress.
