Canada's finance minister Bill Morneau predicted that GDP growth will come in at 1.6 in 2020, but the deficit will also increase, according to an article in the Business Times. Growth in 2019 is likely to end up at 1.7. Areas of growth are expected to be consumer spending due to tight labor markets and resultant wage growth while areas of concern include dismal business investment, continued trade uncertainty, and possible effects on Canadian exports if US growth slows. Other sources forecast economic growth in 2020 at 1.8.
