NAI Global Chief Economist Evaluates Global Economy in Latest White Paper
Jan 30th
In his latest white paper, “Global Economic Round-Up”, NAI Global Chief Economist, Dr. Peter Linneman, evaluates the state of the global economy in Europe, Asia and the United States including the impact of the continuing European debt crisis, the rise of China and India and the current state of the U.S. economic recovery.

Nov 11th
2011 Outlook is for Slower but Continued Growth
The Canadian economy, led by exports and a strong commodity cycle, performed well through 2010. Anchored by a stable banking sector, the Canadian economy out-performed most other economies in the developed world. GDP growth is expected to be 3% for 2010. But the overall economy faces headwinds going forward. In particular, a weak U.S. dollar has driven the Canadian dollar towards parity, slowing our trade with our largest trading partner. And an already slow recovery in the U.S. will keep a lid on Canadian growth prospects for 2011. The result is a slower growth of GDP, now forecast at 2.3% for 2011. More >
