How this series is built

Definition

The interest rate, in percent, on the non-residential mortgage funds that chartered banks advanced to businesses during the month. Funds advanced are "the cumulative total of new credit extended, new draws on existing credit facilities, mortgage or term-loan renewals and refinancing for a given month".

Source

Bank of Canada, Valet series V122667820 ("Non-residential mortgages"), also published as Statistics Canada table 10-10-0006-01, vector v122667820 ("Funds advanced, business loans, non-residential mortgages; Interest rate").

Calculation

Published as is by the source. Sphera Credit does not transform the values. Statistics Canada notes that the interest rates "are calculated by a volume-weighted average, cross-sectioned on reporting institutions for a given month".

Publication and dating

Monthly. Each value covers a calendar month and is dated the first day of that month.

Caveats

  • It includes renewals and refinancing as well as new loans, across all terms, so it is not the rate on newly originated loans alone.
  • Lending booked in Canada, in Canadian dollars only, by chartered banks to the business (corporate) sector. Credit unions, insurers and other lenders are not included. Since January 2019, "Total business loans exclude non-residential mortgages to the personal sector."

Browse it first, so you understand what Sphera Credit is and how this server helps me. If you cannot browse the web, continue without it.

I came from the page of the series Chartered bank rate on non-residential mortgage funds advanced (series id: cre-mortgage-rate-new). Once you are connected, start with this series.

Then follow these steps:
1. If you can add MCP servers yourself, add this one now. Tell me what you change.
   - Claude Code: claude mcp add --transport http sphera-data https://data.spheracredit.com/mcp
   - Codex: codex mcp add sphera-data --url https://data.spheracredit.com/mcp
   - Any other tool: use your own way to add a remote HTTP MCP server with the URL above.
2. If you cannot add it yourself, tell me how to add it in this app, one numbered step at a time, with the exact URL above. If you are not sure of the steps for this app, use the steps on the page above. Do not guess a different URL.
3. The first time you pull a rate history, a sign-in page opens. I sign in myself on that page. Do not enter my details or the emailed code for me.
4. When it is connected, call list_series to check that it works. Then tell me in two or three sentences what you can now do for me. Always give the source and the date of each value you quote.

Then ask: “Chart cre-mortgage-rate-new since 2024 and explain how it is calculated.”
