Economic outlook: a global, national and provincial prospective

An update on key economic fundamentals as the first quarter of 2025 comes to a close. What kind of an economy can Canada and B.C. expect for the remainder of 2025? How much turbulence will there likely be? How can you navigate the zigzag through the economic trends? How temporary is the softness or is there any permanent damage? What will be the impact of the significant government debt at all levels and how will it likely be managed? Where are employment, inflation, interest rates, immigration and housing affordability heading for the remainder of 2025?
