Canadian Medium-Term Economic Outlook

Canadian Medium-Term Economic Outlook

Join the Ottawa Economics Association (OEA) for an insightful presentation on the economic and fiscal outlook for Canada.

The Canadian economy stands at a pivotal juncture, shaped by factors such as geopolitical uncertainty, low productivity, slow growth, and rising unemployment.

Key questions we’ll explore include:

  • What would a 25% Trump tariff mean for Canada’s economy?
  • How will reduced immigration targets impact growth, productivity, and labor markets?
  • What are the implications of the Bank of Canada’s recent rate cut and the GST holiday?

Randall Bartlett, Senior Director at Desjardins, will address these pressing issues and share his expert insights into Canada’s economic and financial trajectory for 2025.
