Bennett Jones Fall 2020 Economic Outlook

Nine months into the pandemic, the short-term economic outlook for Canada entering 2021 is strikingly different than one year ago. Yet structural trends—such as the digital transformation of the economy—remain and in some cases have been accelerated.

Canada, its governments and its businesses, have to address the impacts of the COVID-19 crisis while developing strategies and building momentum for longer-term prosperity, all against the backdrop of a challenging global geo-political environment.

The Outlook sets a context for businesses to plan by reviewing economic scenarios for the next two years and analyzing global and domestic policy factors that could shape the business environment in the years ahead.
