This quarter, we consider the effects of a weakening Canadian dollar, persistently high global interest rates, and changes in domestic and international demand on the Canadian trade sector.

Will the relative strength of U.S. demand be enough to sustain Canada’s export volumes in the face of softer domestic demand? Have easing supply chain disruptions and the reopening of China’s economy led to the anticipated rebound in economic activity, and how will global trade be affected? We share our outlook for Canada’s international trade activity, including the effects of inflation within the world’s major economies and on Canadian import and export prospects over the period.
