As interest rates remain elevated in the Bank of Canada's
fight against inflation, businesses and families are feeling the
pinch. Though growth is flat and unemployment is low, per-capita
consumption spending is falling and many are anxious about the
possibility of a recession.
Osler Special Advisor and former Governor of the Bank of Canada
Stephen Poloz and National Co-Chair Maureen Killoran explored these
and other economic stories in their first quarterly webinar of
2024.
Topics discussed during their conversation include
- the Canadian investment climate
- the wide range of potential outcomes the Bank of Canada is
watching for
- how strong oil prices and government spending are holding up
the economy
- rising business insolvencies
- the expected impacts of the Trans Mountain Pipeline,
electrification and other long-term investments
- the anticipated effect of artificial intelligence on the labour
market, as the country faces a worker shortage
Stephen's unique experience and keen insights on complex
economic and market forces make this essential viewing for business
professionals and investors.
