The global and Canadian economies are still adjusting to the shocks of COVID and war. Inflation remains elevated, and monetary conditions are restrictive. There are legacies, in particular high public and private debt.
Concurrently, the forces of demographic ageing, climate change, and digitalization are intensifying in a new fragmented world, transforming our economies, and requiring more public and private investment. These two factors—short-term adjustment and structural change—set the background for our 2024 Economic Outlook.

2024 Economic Outlook: The Long-Term Is Now

For the last three years, governments, businesses and workers have confronted a series of shocks and disruptions that have tested their agility and resilience. The pandemic, the war in Ukraine, supply chain constraints, swings in commodity prices, and higher inflation and interest rates, have demanded swift responses and adjustment. There are aftershocks, uncertainty and risk, and still a need to adapt. Navigating turbulent times remains a key function of policy and business planning. Yet, given forces shaping the world of tomorrow, it matters even more how governments and businesses plan to invest, innovate and create the conditions for sustainable growth over the longer term. This Economic Outlook entitled Playing the Long Game reviews recent developments and short-term prospects, sets out a baseline scenario and risks to assist business planning and describes some of the context for the longer term and key tasks ahead for Canadian governments and firms.

These changes make EOTs a more practical and attractive succession planning tool for business owners.

It is clear that the global push for green innovation is no longer just aspirational, it is structural. Over the past decade, countries around the world have implemented a mosaic of policies to accelerate environmentally friendly technologies, many of which intersect with intellectual property. But intellectual property (IP) is just one piece of a much larger innovation puzzle.
Increasingly, we see that financial incentives, regulatory frameworks and IP protections are working in tandem to drive green agri-tech. Incentives can include tax credits, substantial grants supporting climate-smart agriculture, subsidies for carbon farming, or &ldquo;patent box&rdquo; regimes offering reduced tax rates on income from green IP, all of which then shape the behavior of startups and researchers alike. However increasingly the conversation is expanding beyond patents and grants into including carbon markets.
