Hurdles remain amid signs of recovery
Economic outlook: Summer 2024
After three years of economic upheaval, the Canadian economy is beginning to settle down. With inflation on a steady downward trend, the Bank of Canada has now begun to ease its policy stance, paving the way for stronger economic growth ahead.
Lower interest rates should encourage households to spend and businesses to invest. However, there are still risks to the economic outlook in the form of geopolitical tensions and the possibility that inflation and interest rates won’t fall as expected.
Read our June outlook, Hurdles remain amid signs of recovery, to explore the latest economic trends and what their impact will be on businesses and households across the country.
