Canada | Vaccines offer hope of return to pre-Covid-19 activity by end-2021
Despite a partial recovery in H2 2020, Canada’s GDP contracted by 5.4% last year with a secondary wave of COVID-19 infections slowing growth. All provinces are still in various stages of lockdown but after a slow start, vaccinations have accelerated. We assume that vaccinations in Canada will be complete by September, allowing pre-COVID-19 levels of activity by end-2021.

Why we see eurozone inflation slowing sharply next year

That said, we still see inflation decelerating sharply to 1.3% in 2023, putting us below consensus. While we recognise significant risks to our views, inflation should slow to below 2% in H2 2023.
