Canada Business Forecast Report Q1 2015 - New Market Report
New Country Reports market report from Business Monitor International: "Canada Business Forecast Report Q1 2015"
[USPRwire, Fri Nov 14 2014] Core Views
* The key theme for Canada's economy over the coming years will remain 'rebalancing', as private consumption and high oil prices can no longer be relied upon to provide robust economic growth.
* Canada's 2015 federal general election remains the Liberal Party's to lose as polling data and recent election wins at the provincial level suggest momentum is with the opposition party.
* A steady pick-up in external demand and exchange rate depreciation will continue to shrink Canada's current account deficit over the coming years.
Key Forecast Changes
* We have revised our current account deficit forecast for 2014 from 3.1% of GDP to 2.8% as stronger exports suggest the goods trade balance will move into surplus.
Key Risks To Outlook
* The single biggest risk to our economic growth outlook for Canada over a multi-year timeframe remains the high household debt levels at a time when monetary policy in the US is gradually being normalised. The divergence in interest rate expectations will continue to have a profound effect on the exchange rate, and could be another dampener on private consumption levels.
