Tariffs, trade, and a new path forward

Economic outlook: Summer 2025

Trade tensions are heating up, investments are stalling, and pressure to pivot is building in key sectors like steel, autos, and aluminum manufacturing. It is clear that we need to do things differently for a shift in Canada’s economy.

As uncertainty clouds Canada’s trade future, economic momentum is cooling. But with interest rates lower, a new federal agenda in motion, and early signs of resilience in energy-producing provinces, recovery may not be far behind.

Can clarity on trade unlock the next wave of growth? And will this moment of pressure become a turning point for our economy? Find out in our latest Economic outlook:  Tariffs, trade, and a new path forward.
