Canada Faces 30% Risk of Recession, Says Former Central Bank Chief
According to a previous governor of the Bank of Canada, the nation currently faces roughly a 30% likelihood of entering a recession, as international economic challenges intensify. Ongoing conflict in the Middle East has led to blockades in the Strait of Hormuz and disruptions at key production sites, significantly impacting the global economy. These events have driven up fuel costs and heightened fears of a worldwide energy shortage.
This week, the International Monetary Fund also cautioned that if tensions in the Middle East continue, the world economy may edge dangerously close to a recession. The warning was included in the IMF’s most recent global economic outlook.
