Bank of Canada: some Canadians could see mortgage payments jump by 45% in 2025-26 as rates rise

By David Ljunggren OTTAWA – Some Canadians who took out mortgages in 2020-21 could see their monthly payments jump by as much as 45% in 2025-26, given rising rates, according to a Bank of Canada scenario released on Thursday.

The Bank of Canada sees the binge continuing to drive the economy in 2022 even as it kicked off a tightening cycle this month. But record mortgage debt and higher interest
