The Burden of Rising Borrowing Costs: Canadians Struggle to Make Ends Meet

The rising cost of borrowing is placing a significant burden on Canadians, making it increasingly difficult for them to make ends meet.The prime rate at Canada’s six largest banks increased to 7.2% right after the Bank of Canada’s latest rate hike on Wednesday, further tightening access to credit and the cost of borrowing for Canadians.

As interest rates continue to climb, the cost of borrowing money, whether through mortgages, loans, or credit cards, is becoming more expensive. This situation is particularly challenging for individuals and families with already stretched budgets, as higher interest payments eat into their disposable income. The increased financial strain leaves many Canadians struggling to cover essential expenses such as housing, utilities, and groceries, leading to heightened levels of financial stress and hardship.

As a result, it is crucial for policymakers and financial institutions to address this issue and implement measures to alleviate the burden of borrowing costs on Canadians.
