Why Canada Tops the G7 in Total Factor Productivity Gains

When economists talk productivity, they usually point to the US or Germany. But Canada has quietly posted the strongest total factor productivity growth in the G7 since 2020. Lucas and Luna unpack why: a banking system that didn't crater during the pandemic, aggressive immigration that raised labor-force participation among prime-age workers, and provincial R&D tax credits that actually work. They also look at the flip side — Canada's chronic business-investment gap and what it means for future gains. Plus, a short sidebar on why this episode might be worth a coffee. #Canada #TotalFactorProductivity #ProductivityGrowth #G7 #Economics #ImmigrationAndProductivity #RDTaxCredits #BusinessInvestment #BankingResilience #LaborForceParticipation #ProductivityParadox #EconomicGrowth #SRED #BusinessPodcast #FexingoBusiness #ProductivityPodcast #OutputAndEfficiency #LongTermGrowth Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
