TORONTO, ONTARIO — (Marketwire) — 10/12/11 — Despite global unrest, Canada-s economy – the ninth largest in the world – appears to be holding its own. Nearly 70,000 new jobs were added last month and Forbes Magazine recently named Canada the best place in the world to do business. While all this is welcome news, there are still questions on what lies ahead.
The outlook for the economy and its impact on business will be featured as experts from BMO and the Canadian Manufacturers and Exporters host a media panel on Wednesday, October 12. The panel will include Doug Porter, Deputy Chief Economist, BMO Capital Markets; Jayson Myers, President and CEO, Canadian Manufacturers & Exporters, Canada-s largest industry and trade association; and Cathy Pin, Vice President, BMO Commercial Banking.
