The slow economic recovery in recent months (in China, US and EU) has not been strong enough to increase the prices of raw materials. This negatively affects both the potential profitability and financial structuring of major industrial-investment projects announced in Canada. As of June 2013, projects worth a total of $122 billion announced in Canada were already at risk. One or more bits of bad news could cause several of these projects to be withdrawn.
This webinar will address key questions such as:
- What is the nature of the shocks to major capital projects underway?
- Which regions, industries and activities in the product chain will be most affected?
- Once the dust settles, will we see a return to normalcy, or the emergence of new trade patterns and a new position for Canada?
- Which long-term opportunities justify investments in Canadian resource-development projects? What short-term risks will these projects face?
- Which other industries are becoming more active?
- How will Canadian mining and oil-and-gas projects evolve?
- How will extraction and processing projects for metallic and non-metallic minerals develop?
- Which companies stand out? How will State-Owned Enterprises fare?
- Which Canadian regions are most likely to be affected?
The webinar will examine the current circumstances of industrial investments in Canada from both macro- and micro-economic perspectives. It will emphasize the “ Canadian exception”: that the Canadian economy is creating a new position for itself relative to other major economic blocks. The webinar will also identify the vulnerabilities of specific projects.
