Outlook
NAFTA Risks• Round eight of negotiations in April; political time crunch looms• Steel and Aluminum tariff exemptions expire May 1st
• (A) Modernization (tweaks) or (B) U.S. Rebalancing • (B)Contentious items – rules of origin, dispute settlement, supply
management, procurement, sunset clause• Some movement on Rules of Origin for auto content is positive• NO DEAL?
• Shift to WTO MFN tariffs: U.S.A. 3.5%, Canada 4.2%, Mexico 7.1%• Canada-US Free Trade Agreement (CUSFTA) of 1989 returns
• Economic impact estimates on Canada:• Real GDP -0.5% to 2023, employment -25k to -50k, investment -0.9%,
CPI -0.3%• Negative for autos, fossil fuels, petrochemicals, business services, metal
products, M&E, food, and others• Ontario, Alberta, Saskatchewan, New Brunswick
Other Trump effects• China- U.S trade relations
• Global steel, aluminum, solar panels and washing machines
• Tariffs on $50B of Chinese goods as retribution for unfair technology practices
• Trump proposing another $100B• China response of tariffs on $3 billion due
to steel, $50B warning • Deepening trade war could slow global
trade and growth
• Geo-political – North Korea, Syria
