Canada is increasingly on the lips and in the minds of international investors. It is difficult to remember what other time the country has been such a force relative and absolute, “says Warren Lovely, strategist government issues at Macro Strategy Group of CIBC. Foreign investors believe more and more in Canada’s ability to deliver superior results to other countries, according to an economic report from CIBC.
The study by CIBC World Markets has a growing list of strategic benefits that enhance the interest in the country in the global investment portfolios.This is especially Canada’s strength is its advantage in terms of public finances, says Lovely, who first attracted attention to the fact that Canada has much less need to adjust its tax stabilize the debt ratios. The Canadian provinces are in a better position than some American states, they are less likely to cut programs or adopt measures to increase their income and, consequently, they are less at risk regional economies, says Lovely . The fiscal consolidation will reduce borrowing requirements and protect credit ratings from the federal government and provinces.
The study adds that Canada is different from other countries as a leading growth in the developed world, the most recent IMF forecasts put the country lead the G7 in terms of average real GDP growth in 2010 – 2011. In addition, the Canadian banking sector has sufficient capital and regulatory changes require less deep.
However, some obstacles could interfere with the maintenance of Canada’s superior results. The study notes that a slowdown in the U.S. would have consequences for Canada because three quarters of Canadian exports are the path of the United States. Other factors that cloud the economic outlook for Canada is the impact of the persistently strong Canadian dollar on manufacturing, the overheated housing market and high debt of Canadian households.
