EFC’s annual Economic Forecast returns in a dynamic webinar format, delivering essential global, national, and regional economic insights from top-tier economists. Longtime EFC contributor Maureen Farrow, President of Economap Inc., is joined by Donald Leavens, Chief Economist at NEMA, to provide clear and candid analysis of the economic landscape shaping Canada’s future.

This year’s session will focus on key economic drivers, including:

  • Tariffs and US/Iran war are reshaping economic dynamics as commodity-driven cost pressures intensify
  • Market uncertainty/volatility are reshaping business strategies. Canada embarks on new economic development initiatives to address the new global realities
  • Global recession should be avoided but growth to remain muted and stagflation risk remains a possibility.
