A Conversation on Canada’s Economic Outlook - Recording from Event

Recently, much ink has been spilled on the topic of what the Canadian economy will look like in an eventual post-pandemic economy where inflationary pressures and a turbulent geopolitical environment feature prominently.

The Embassy of Iceland in Ottawa and the Icelandic Canadian Chamber of Commerce (ICCC) invited guests to a conversation with EDC’s Ross Prusakowski on Canada’s short and medium-term economic outlook in this context. Key economic indicators were reviewed, including trends related to Canada’s energy sector and consumer confidence.
