Canada Faces Slower Growth Near-Term But Recovery Seen as On Track -- Market Talk

Dow Jones03-25 19:58

0758 ET - Recent Canadian economic data points to a weaker start to 2026, with broad labor market weakness in January and February and very weak trade numbers in January, signally slower aggregate demand, Scotiabank says. Its economists now expect GDP growth for 1Q will undershoot earlier expectations, which is likely to mean average growth of 1.3% for 2026. Still, Scotiabank reckons there are several forces that should support a recovery later in the year and into 2027, including fading tensions, past rate cuts feeding through, and government spending. As a result, it expects growth to accelerate to 2% in 2027. (robb.stewart@wsj.com; @RobbMStewart)
