Economists say Canada recession risk to trigger at least 2 more 2025 rate cuts | CBC News
Briefly

The ongoing U.S.-led trade war has raised significant recession risks for Canada, prompting economists to predict that the Bank of Canada may cut interest rates two more times this year. This follows U.S. President Trump's announcement regarding a 90-day tariff pause, which has not alleviated concerns, as existing tariffs on automobiles and metals persist. With Canadian exports heavily reliant on the U.S. market, forecasts for economic growth have been downgraded, highlighting the adverse impact of unpredictable trade policies.
