Don’t miss this month’s edition of the George Davis Report, where George discusses the uncertainties and risks facing the Canadian economy in 2025.

What you need to know:

1

A change in the calendar year will do little to lift the clouds that are hanging over the Canadian economy.

2

The consumer will continue to face headwinds from high leverage and mortgage resets.

3

New immigration restrictions will impact both supply and demand and add to growth uncertainty.

4

The tariff issue is just starting to percolate and will persist through the renegotiation of the USMCA in 2026.

5

Taken together, these risks point to additional CAD weakness ahead – especially in the first half of 2025.
