All eyes are on the central banks in anticipation of future interest rate cuts that will ease pressure on borrowers, spur activity in the real estate markets and encourage corporate investments in innovation and growth. The timing and pace of this monetary easing will, of course, depend on several variables.
Join us for a private event on May 9th to hear BMO Capital Market’s Chief Economist, Mr. Douglas Porter, share his insights on the current state of the Canadian and U.S. economies and the driving factors that could influence both countries’ short and long-term economic outlook. Mr. Porter will provide his expert analysis and latest forecast as well as implications on the housing market in key regions. The presentation will be followed by an insightful fireside chat between Greybrook Securities CEO, Sasha Cucuz, and Mr. Porter. Attendees will have an opportunity to engage with both speakers during the dedicated Q&A portion.
