How do rising interest rates affect you?
Anyone with a variable rate mortgage in Canada understands the impact of rising interest rates. A rate hike can either cause borrowers’ debt payments to climb or reduce the amount of principal their mortgage payments pay off.

Depending on the economic circumstances, interest rates can rise substantially over a year.
