The Canadian economy was improving before the escalation in U.S.-Canada trade tensions. Economic activity and labor market seemed to be getting better in the second half of last year and January 2025 to raise likelihood of the Bank of Canada to pause its rate-cutting cycle.

At first glance, our growth forecast of 1.9% for 2025 on an annual average basis suggests little change in conditions from our November update. However, on a fourth-quarter over fourth-quarter basis, we have shaved real GDP growth by approximately 40 basis points
