While the Canadian economy ran into a hurdle of COVID-19 second-wave lockdowns at the start of 2021, it is expected to rebound given monetary and fiscal stimulus combined with a wave of pent-up demand, according to the newly-released BMO Blue Book.
The BMO Blue Book, published by BMO Economics and Canadian Commercial Banking, combines the expertise of BMO's economists with that of its business bankers. The BMO Blue Book features an economic report for Canada at large and each province. This edition also features an outlook for six key business sectors: technology & innovation, agriculture, real estate finance, seniors housing, hospitality and transportation.
