Economic outlook | April 2024
That was close: Canada looks set to dodge a recession
The Canadian economy is proving its resilience, surpassing year-end expectations with solid labour market performance and sustained population growth. Many signs point to a recovery from the current economic slump in the latter half of the year.

What does this mean for Canadian households and businesses?
Read our April outlook, That was close: Canada looks set to dodge a recession, for a comprehensive analysis of Canada’s economy in the months ahead.
