SUMMARY:Making sense of today’s economy: how businesses can navigate uncertainty & find opportunity
DESCRIPTION:Canada continues to face a challenging economic outlook. In particular\, interest rate hikes and rising inflation have put considerable pressure on Canadian households. This pressure\, in turn\, affects small business owners who must find a way to sell\, compete\, survive and thrive despite this environment. Being aware of the headwinds the Canadian economy is facing — and understanding the forecast for the future — can help owners prepare\, adapt and potentially pivot their businesses for ongoing success\, even during challenging times. \nRBC will present a snapshot of the Canadian economic outlook followed by a facilitated Q&A session. \nRegister Here >>>
