The Canadian economy has been through a whirlwind in 2024. Canada has been in an extended period of underperforming per capita growth compared to the United States since 2019. Still, 2024 was a pivotal year for Canadians with inflation coming down and interest rates finally moving lower.

Join RBC economists Carrie Freestone and Claire Fan in this 2024 10-Minute Take wrap-up episode. They'll discuss the highlights in a year-in-review before addressing key themes for 2025 in the final episode of the season.
