President Trump's fondness of tariffs has created heightened economic uncertainty with plunging consumer confidence and stock market turmoil. The sudden disruption of the close economic ties between Canada and the United States has sparked fears of a Canadian recession.
To help provide some clarity in these uncertain times, ATB's senior economist Siddhartha Bhattacharya will present an economic outlook for Alberta. The presentation will focus on the impact of tariffs on the province and will be followed by a Q&A.
This is a virtual event from 12pm-1pm MDT on May 1. Please register through Eventbrite. The link for this Zoom event will be sent on the morning of the event to the email address provided while registering in Eventbrite.
