- Strong U.S. demand will boost Canadian merchandise exports over the next two years.
- Once the threat of the pandemic retreats and restrictions are eased, domestic demand will bounce back strongly, firing up the merchandise import sector.
- With COVID-19 variant infections on the rise in many parts of the world, tight travel restrictions will not be lifted any time soon. This will continue to weigh on non-merchandise trade activity for a good part of 2021.
- The current account deficit will improve somewhat in 2021 but will then deepen again in 2022.
