This week Canada will make two major economic announcements. On the one hand, a new economic budget will be presented at 5:00 p.m. today (GMT -3) and on the other hand, on Wednesday the Bank of Canada will pronounce on the interest rate.
The budget to be presented is intended to be used for economic recovery after imbalances caused by the current world crisis.
It is expected that in this budget that they will announce, it will have two billion Canadian dollars in social assistance and would incorporate new tax measures. Wage and rent subsidy programs would also be extended until September.
The tax measures are effective as of 2022 and would apply to luxury goods and services. This budget would also implement a new program for subsidiaries of new business hires.
