The target for the overnight rate is the main tool used by the Bank of Canada to conduct monetary policy. 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." When the Bank changes the target for the overnight rate, this change usually affects other interest rates, including mortgage rates and prime rates charged by commercial banks.

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.

The Bank [of Canada] carries out monetary policy by influencing short-term interest rates. It does this by raising and lowering the target for the overnight rate. The overnight rate 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. This target for the overnight rate is often referred to as the Bank's key interest rate or key policy rate.
