CABE Webinar: Beyond the Trade War with the US: Why Productivity Will Still Rise

 

While ongoing US trade tensions and geopolitical friction present real headwinds, a long-overdue revival in business capex, major infrastructure projects, and accelerating AI adoption are set to turn the tide on productivity after years of capital shallowing. We’ll break this down by industry, draw key comparisons with the US, discuss how the federal government’s more growth focused agenda could support investment and productivity, and show why Canada is well positioned to capture AI-driven gains despite trade uncertainty.
