Trumps politik kan tvinga Kanada att sänka räntan
Osäkerheten kring Donald Trumps finanspolitik gör att Kanadas centralbank öppnar för en räntesänkning i år, skriver Reuters. Enligt Bank of Canada kan Trumps satsningar på infrastruktur gynna Kanada, medan skattesänkningar kan få motsatt effekt. Därför vill centralbanken vänta och se hur det utvecklar sig, skriver Reuters. Även höjda tullavgifter och ändringar i Nafta-avtalet kan påverka landet negativt, menar centralbanken.

As with other developed nations, the Canadian economy is dominated by the service industry, which employs about three quarters of Canadians. Canada is unusual among developed countries in the importance of the primary sector, with the logging and oil industries being two of Canada's most important. Canada also has a sizable manufacturing sector, based in Central Canada, with the automobile industry and aircraft industry being especially important.
