It tells major financial institutions the average interest rate the Bank of Canada wants to see in the marketplace where they lend each other money for one day, or "overnight.

Le taux cible du financement à un jour est le principal instrument dont la Banque du Canada se sert pour mettre en œuvre la politique monétaire. Ce taux indique aux grandes institutions financières à quel taux d'intérêt moyen la Banque désire qu'elles se prêtent des fonds pour une durée d'un jour. Les modifications que la Banque apporte au taux cible du financement à un jour se répercutent généralement sur les autres taux d'intérêt, notamment les taux hypothécaires et les taux de base des prêts des banques commerciales. 1, record 2, French, - taux%20cible%20du%20financement%20%C3%A0%20un%20jour
