CPBI Pacific Breakfast Session : Assessing the Risks of a Recession

Session description

- Canada was not in recession in early 2015, and never has been without a U.S. recession
- Indicators of a U.S. recession are rising, namely yield curve flattening and tightening lending standards
- ...but these signals are inconclusive given other macro-economic indicators
- Our base case scenario is that both countries avoid recession, but the risks in Canada are higher...
