It’s starting to feel like everything from basic living needs to casual spending is getting more expensive. When central banks tackle high inflation as they have done over the last year, it usually leads to job losses. Yet, the historically tight job market complicates the picture. Unemployment rates remain low, and job openings are still above their pre-pandemic levels, despite headlines grabbing layoffs. 

Change is easier to manage when it’s understood. That’s why The Peak’s Brett Chang will interview Jimmy Jean, Vice-President, Chief Economist and Strategist for Desjardins, to gain his insights into his economic forecasts, as well as the key factors likely to shape the economic destiny of Canada’s youth.

The Desjardins x Peak Emerging Leaders Briefing will answer questions on top of young Canadian leaders’ minds including:

• How are young Canadians impacted by trends in education and immigration? What do I need to know as I build a team for the future? 
  
  
• What do higher interest rates mean for housing costs and my investments? And how is inflation impacting my everyday costs?
  
  
• What can we expect to see in the Canadian economy for 2023 and beyond?
