Preparing For An Economic Slowdown – BDC
Hi everyone
Pierre Cléroux, BDC VP Research & Chief Economist spoke last week on a webinar which shared their overview of the Canadian current economic status (jobs, business performance, job figures, savings, etc.) as well as projections for the next year. As I said last week – the outlook he is giving is not as dire as some people would have you believe. It is worth a listen:
- An economic update from Sr. VP Research and Chief Economist – Pierre Cléroux (he is the economist I follow because of his measured approach and frequent updates.) For those of you in the US or who are not familiar with the BDC – it is Canada’s BUsiness Development Bank vs. a private enterprise and is also the body which the government uses for it’s loan programs (also Futurepreneur).
- Tips on managing through a downturn with some useful templates.
- Let me know if you want a copy of the handouts they mention in the recording.
Here is a link to the notes I made from Pierre Cléroux‘s webinar presentation with slide captures. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1sxUkiqj9PnU68MnbG9qZzPCWSt_23d-Y/edit?usp=sharing&ouid=107940180081982359173&rtpof=true&sd=true
