“The economy is proving to be more resilient than anticipated to containment measures for COVID-19 and the narrative of a stronger vaccine deployment in the second half of 2021 along with faster growth in the United States and the world, implies a prop backdrop for coin“.

“We believe that Canada it will be one of the main beneficiaries of the international spill-over effects of President Biden’s stimulus plan, which is in addition to the Canadian government’s extended fiscal support measures (amounting to approximately 3/4% of GDP in three years). “
