As Canada faces a challenging economic environment with shifts in inflation rates, varying interest rates, and political changes, the demand for effective strategies and vision for the future is crucial.
What pivotal trends will shape the economic landscape in the upcoming year, and in what ways can businesses, investors, and policymakers prepare for success?
The Rotman School of Management will host a roundtable discussion on Tuesday, January 14, featuring leading Canadian economists. They will explore the dynamics affecting Canada’s economic forecast—from geopolitical developments to new opportunities—and provide perspectives on what to expect for businesses and investors in 2025.
