Canada's Economy
Canada is one of the world’s most developed and resource-rich economies, but it also faces many unique challenges in a fast-changing global landscape. The continuing education (CE) course “Canada’s Economy” provides financial professionals with a comprehensive understanding of the structure, drivers, and long-term outlook of Canada’s economy.
Through a blend of historical context, macroeconomic analysis, and forward-looking perspectives, participants will explore Canada’s fiscal and monetary policy, investment environment, international trade relationships, and comparisons with other OECD nations. Special attention is given to emerging risks and opportunities, including demographic shifts, productivity concerns, and the transition to a lower-carbon economy.
By completing this course, participants will be equipped to interpret economic data more effectively, advise clients with greater confidence, and anticipate how global and domestic developments may impact Canadian markets.
