February 13 @ 4:30 pm - 7:00 pm
We are thrilled to host this conversation on the Productivity Crisis in Canada. In March 2024, the Bank of Canada’s senior deputy governor, Carolyn Rogers, sounded the alarm on the productivity crisis in Canada.
“Back in 1984, the Canadian economy was producing 88% of the value generated by the US economy per hour. That’s not great. But by 2022, Canadian productivity had fallen to just 71% of that of the United States. Over this same period of time, Canada also fell behind our G7 peers, with only Italy seeing a larger decline in productivity relative to the United States.” – Carolyn Rogers
