Yield Curve - Canada

Selected benchmark bond yields are based on mid-market closing yields of selected Government of Canada bond issues that mature approximately in the indicated terms. The bond issues used are not necessarily the ones with the remaining time to maturity that is the closest to the indicated term and may differ from other sources.

The back end refers to longer-term securities that will mature in over a year.

A yield curve (also known as the term structure of interest rates) represents the relationship between interest rates and the remaining time to maturity of debt securities. These yields reflect market participants' expectations of future inflation, real interest rates and assessment of various risks.
