As Canada navigates the fallout of recently imposed U.S. tariffs and shifting global trade policies, economic uncertainty remains at the forefront for investors. With over $1.3 trillion in annual cross-border trade at stake, the potential for rising construction costs, supply chain disruptions, and shifting capital flows is increasingly shaping real estate markets. From residential developments to value-add properties, stakeholders must assess how these economic pressures, combined with shifting government policies, will influence demand, valuations, and long-term investment strategies.
Join us for an exclusive event on May 1st to hear BMO Capital Markets’ Chief Economist, Douglas Porter, as he unpacks the evolving economic landscape amid a period of heightened uncertainty. With ongoing geopolitical and trade tensions influencing financial markets and a federal election just days prior to our event, what impact will these forces have on your investments?
Mr. Porter will provide his latest expert analysis on Canada-U.S. trade dynamics, the resilience of housing markets amid economic headwinds, and key factors shaping long-term growth, offering a data-driven outlook on what investors could expect in the months ahead. Following the presentation, Greybrook Securities CEO, Sasha Cucuz, will sit down with Mr. Porter for an engaging fireside chat. Attendees will have the opportunity to engage with both speakers during a dedicated Q&A session, gaining valuable insights directly from these esteemed leaders.
