Canada's Productivity Problem, Explained by a Chief Economist - An Interview with Pedro Antunes
from The Allan Small Financial Show · host Allan Small
Canada's stock market is at record highs while the economy underneath it is barely growing. Chief Economist Pedro Antunes of Signal49 Research (formerly The Conference Board of Canada) joins Allan Small to explain the disconnect — and why the recovery isn't as close as the headlines suggest. We cover whether Canada is already in a technical recession, the productivity gap that has Canadian businesses investing 11% of GDP against 15% in the United States, why the Bank of Canada is unlikely to cut rates again soon, what's really driving mortgage and lending rates, and where the CUSMA renegotiation stands.
