Hot News: Bank of Canada Governor Mark Carney today announced in his economic update that the there has been a shift in the Bank of Canada’s economic outlook for the Canadian economy (source 10/20/2010 Wall Street Journal). In the Bank’s quarterly monetary policy report it “lowered growth forecasts for 2010 and 2011 and revised down the inflation outlook. It now expects the economy to return to full capacity by the end of 2012, a year later than projected in July”.What does this mean for you as a business owner?
Listen, virtually anyone can make money when the economy is hot as it was through to 2008. Just ride the wave! Since Q4/2008, when the Recession hit, the wind went out of the sails of business. Despite Carney’s position that the Recession ended in Q4/2009, it hardly feels like there is a breeze of growth for small business. With today’s announcement it seems clear that we will have calm waters through to 2012.
