OTTAWA, Oct. 16 (UPI) -- The Bank of Canada left its key interest rate at 4.5 percent Tuesday as the surging Canadian dollar and global credit crunch weakened inflation concerns.

The Bank of Canada downwardly revised its projection for U.S. growth to 1.9 percent this year and 2.1 percent in 2008. It said it expected U.S. growth to pick up to 3 percent in 2009.

By contract, the bank forecast the Canadian economy would grow 2.6 percent this year, drop to 2.3 percent in 2008 and then rebound to 2.5 percent in 2009.

The central bank's next interest-rate announcement is scheduled for Dec. 4.
