Economic slowdown and trade tensions have begun to impact business confidence

Canada’s recent economic slowdown and global trade tensions have begun to impact businesses confidence, according to a Bank of Canada survey.

“The main headwinds are a more uncertain outlook in the Western Canadian energy sector, continued weakness in housing-related activity in some regions, and tangible impacts from global trade tensions,” the Bank of Canada said in the report in which it described the deterioration in sentiment as a “softening.”

More businesses reported their sales growth decelerated over the past 12 months, while expectations for future sales remained depressed.
