l was watching the news tonight and they mentioned that the Bank of Canada was lowering it lending rate by 0.5% to bring it down to 2%. Currently though, prime interest rate is 4.25% at most banks. l can not seem to find a good explanation of how these two rates are connected. l figured someone here would know! Thanks.

The interest rate set by Bank of Canada is called ''target for the overnight rate.'' It is the interest rate at which major financial institutions borrow and lend one-day (or ''overnight'') funds among themselves; the Bank sets a target level for that rate.

Prime rate is the rate at which banks lend the money to its ''favored'' consumers. So they make at least 2% from the $ they borrow from other banks.
