It was a rollercoaster year for the Canadian economy. 

From geopolitical conflict and a new interest rate cycle to the debate around entrepreneurial ambition and domestic investment, many of the economic and business events that marked 2024 are sure to be felt in the year ahead. 

Following the Bank of Canada’s final interest-rate announcement of the year, The Logic’s executive editor April Fong and economics columnist and editor-at-large Kevin Carmichael discussed what mattered most to Canadian businesses in 2024—and what could be around the corner.
