Checking under the hood: What we're looking for in the Fiscal Update
🎙️ CHECKING UNDER THE HOOD | IFSD's Fiscal Update Preview
Ahead of the government’s spring Economic and Fiscal Update, The Politics of Money brings together IFSD President and CEO Kevin Page, Executive VP Sahir Khan, and Chief Economist Mostafa Askari, for a timely preview of what they're looking for in the government's plan.
The conversation explores the government’s room to manoeuvre amid global shocks and affordability pressures, while achieving a balance between short-term relief and long-term fiscal credibility. IFSD's team talk about how deficits fit into the over all fiscal picture, what bond rating agencies are looking for, looming pressures around execution and implementation, and the growing importance of transparency as well as expectations facing the Liberal government now that they have secured a majority in the House of Commons.
A must-listen Fiscal Update primer for parliamentarians, public servants, journalists, and anyone interested in Canada’s economic outlook.
