The Real Economy Canada: Summer 2026

June 30, 2026

Canada’s economic outlook for the remainder of 2026 hinges on an array of international factors and domestic opportunities clouded by persistent volatility and uncertainty.

RSM Canada's analysts explore these critical considerations and what they mean domestically—particularly amid trade tensions and a global oil shock.

This edition of The Real Economy Canada also examines what recent federal and provincial tax measures could mean for Canada’s real estate market—and offers timely tax strategies for new and expecting parents.

To say that Canada’s economy and its financial markets have been exposed to a relentless stream of external shocks is an understatement. While we do not expect the economy to fall into recession this year, any estimates of growth still carry significant uncertainty.
