- Canadian economy looks attractive too with stable government with low political risks associated. Unemployment rate has fallen to 6.8% and Labour market this year is expected to show further improvement.
- Economic activities slowed somewhat since June last year over the fall in oil price however sharp fall in loonie has shielded some of the adverse effect. As per latest GDP is growing at 0.6% q/q and 2.6% y/y.
