Summary:
Canada’s economic expansion showed signs of moderation in May and June, pulling back from a strong start to the year in the face of high inflation and rising interest rates.
Output in June was on track for a small increase of 0.1 per cent after stalling in May, Statistics Canada said on Friday. That follows three months of strong growth between February and April that helped fuel a robust expansion in the second quarter, which the agency estimated at about 4.6 per cent annualized.
The results show a picture of an economy that was unscathed from the global slowdown in the first part of the year but may be entering a period of much slower growth.
The Bank of Canada has raised its benchmark policy rate by more than two percentage points since March to slow four-decade high inflation, and is expected to continue hiking by at least another half-percentage point at its next policy decision in September

BOC and other reserve banks need to think extremely hard about rising of interest rates. The threat of global recession grows each day. BOC would be better off to pause interest rates and look at other areas of policies as part of managing monetary government. The federal government should be focus on drastic policy changes including pausing all new tax hikes including hikes to CPP, EI, and carbon tax. The focus should be on addressing issues with port capacity, promoting more innovation, productivity improvements, skills gap, housing supply, and streamlining of taxation and regulations as it relates to the goods-producing sector.

Last month Deputy Governor Gravelle described the bank’s 1% overnight rate as “too stimulative” and the same could be said of today’s 1.5%. Indeed, the policy statement noted that with the economy in excess demand and inflation well above target and still yet to peak, “interest rates will need to rise further.” It finished by saying the bank is “prepared to act more forcefully if needed”—that’s not new language for the BoC but it’s new to the policy statement.

Mitigation the impact of Climate Change while growing the Green and Circular ...paul young cpa, cga
Summary:
I have always been environmentalist. I am about solutions that protect the environment while growing the economy in a sustainable way.
I have also raised concerns with practices that relate to urban planning, forest management, land utilization, water management, and air quality.
I have been against carbon taxation/pricing as it punishes those that can least afford higher prices.
I am also concerns that governments around the world are not developing policies that better support the green and circular economy. The focus on policy should encourage innovation, capital investment, upgrading of skills, standardization of ESG reporting, and the streamlining of regulations. Government should not be focuses solely on handing out subsidies and direct grants to a particular business or industry. The focus should be on policies every organization would have access to as part of managing their close, consolidate, and reporting cycle.
The economy grew at an annualized rate of 3.1 per cent in the first quarter, helped by business investment and household spending, Statistics Canada said Tuesday.
The result was down from an annualized rate of 6.6 per cent in the fourth quarter of 2021.
Statistics Canada said the change came as export volumes dropped 2.4 per cent for the quarter, following two consecutive quarterly increases.
Meanwhile, the agency said household spending rose 0.8 per cent in the first quarter, to mark a third consecutive quarterly increase.
Spending on durable goods gained 2.6 per cent in the first quarter, helped by a 16.1 per cent increase in spending on new passenger cars and a 3.5 per cent gain for new trucks, vans and sport utility vehicles.

Summary:
High inflation is here to stay for awhile due to failed agendas of government.
Mitigating climate change is very important. The mitigation should be done through better policy including how to best support cheap energy costs. The focus should also be on policies and programs that support the green and circular economy.
Canada has lost it ways when it comes to encouraging innovation within the private and public sector. Trudeau policies have been a failure!

Summary:
Middle class jobs have grown under Justin Trudeau. The problem is majority of those jobs have been in the service sector in areas like public sector, professional services, and logistics. Jobs in the goods-producing sector have trailed the service sector since Trudeau took office. Trudeau policies never were about developing the natural resources sector in a sustainable way.
Trudeau tax policies have also made things worse for Canadians in terms of after-tax income and the cost of living.

More emphasis needed on addressing issues with program spending including more value for money audits.

Trudeau green policies have never look at all angles of climate change
Trudeau team lack a job strategy. Many job vacancies pay less than the average wage
Bond agencies likely will put Trudeau on watch due to his high deficit and debt levels

Global Housing Market Analysis and Commentary- September 2023.pptxpaul young cpa, cga
Summary:
Homebuilders are walking a fine line when it comes to new projects as high mortgage rates curb demand.
New residential construction, including single-family homes and multifamily, dropped 11.3% month over month in August to 1.283 million units on a seasonally adjusted basis, according to Census Bureau data released Tuesday. That's down 14.8% compared with a year ago and well below the 1.44 million units economists surveyed by Bloomberg projected.
But authorized residential permits — an indicator of potential future activity — rose 6.9% to 1.543 million permits in August from July. That was still down 2.7% from last August. Single-family permits, though, were up 2% from July to 949,000. Multifamily permits came in at 535,000.
The data reflects two opposing forces builders are trying to balance: the ongoing need for new construction to fill in limited inventory and elevated mortgage rates that are hurting their biggest customer right now, the first-time homebuyer.
"High mortgage rates are clearly taking a toll on builder confidence and consumer demand, as a growing number of buyers are electing to defer a home purchase until long-term rates move lower," Robert Dietz, chief economist of the National Association of Home Builders, said Monday in a press release after builder confidence dropped for the second straight month.

Blog – Manufacturing Shipments and Orders – The United States – August 2023
Summary:
New orders for manufacturing technology in the United States totaled $353.9 million in July 2023, as per the latest report by AMT – The Association For Manufacturing Technology. This figure marked a 12.4% decline from June 2023 but remained only 10.5% lower than July 2022. Year-to-date orders amounted to $2.83 billion, reflecting a 12.7% decrease compared to the same period the previous year.
Douglas K. Woods, President of AMT, noted that July is typically a slower month for manufacturing technology orders, so a slight drop was expected. However, he pointed out a notable trend: over the last two months, the year-to-date order gap has narrowed during historically slow periods. While job shops have seen decreased orders, other industries that benefited from reshoring or government investments have helped fill the gap.
Among specific sectors, job shops, the largest customer segment, placed their lowest total monthly orders since August 2020. In contrast, metal valve manufacturers recorded their third-highest monthly order value on record, last seen in September 2018, making up nearly 5% of the total manufacturing technology order value for July 2023. Manufacturers of motor vehicle transmissions continued to order machinery at an elevated pace. However, the aerospace industry continued to order below its early 2022 peaks, with hopes that recent projects like the federal government's $1.5 billion investment in communications satellites might reverse this trend.

Blog – Analysis and Commentary – Stock Market – WE September 15 2023
Summary:
Stocks fell Friday as investors wrap up a volatile week ahead of the Federal Reserve's policy meeting.
The Dow Jones Industrials tumbled 288.87 points to close out Friday and the week at 34,618.24. At its lows, it completely wiped out Thursday's 332-point rally.
The S&P 500 index sank 54.78 points, or 1.2%, to 4,450.32.
The NASDAQ index plunged 217.72 points, or 1.6%, to 13,708.33.
The Dow held onto a winning week. The S&P 500 and NASDAQ both closed out the week with losses.
Information technology was the worst-performing sector in the S&P 500, down nearly 2%. Adobe shares fell more than 4% even after the software firm posted better-than-expected quarterly results. Shares of Arm Holdings were lower one day after its successful public debut.
Auto stocks General Motors and Stellantis N.V. were higher Friday, while Ford Motor was about flat. Thousands of members of the United Auto Workers went on strike after failing to reach a deal with the automakers Thursday night.
Elsewhere, Lennar shares slid 3%. The home construction firm posted third-quarter results that beat on the top and bottom lines.
On the economic front, the University of Michigan's consumer sentiment survey showed one-year inflation expectations dropped to 3.1% in
September, tied for the lowest since January 2021. Also, the five-year outlook fell to 2.7%, matching its lowest since December 2020.
Electricity Analysis - Canada and the OECD - June 2023.pptxpaul young cpa, cga
Summary:
Over three-quarters of the world’s total coal-generated electricity is consumed in just three countries. China is the top user of coal, making up 53.3% of global coal demand, followed by India at 13.6%, and the U.S. at 8.9%.
Burning coal—for electricity, as well as metallurgy and cement production—is the world’s single largest source of CO2 emissions. Nevertheless, its use in electricity generation has actually grown 91.2% since 1997, the year when the first global climate agreement was signed in Kyoto, Japan.
However, even as non-renewables enjoy their time in the sun, their days could be numbered.
In 2022, renewables, such as wind, solar, and geothermal, represented 14.4% of total electricity generation with an extraordinary annual growth rate of 14.7%, driven by big gains in solar and wind. Non-renewables, by contrast, only managed an anemic 0.4%.
The authors of the Statistical Review do not include hydroelectric in their renewable calculations, even though many others, including the International Energy Agency, consider it a “well-established renewable power technology.”
With hydroelectric moved into the renewable column, together they accounted for over 29.3% of all electricity generated in 2022, with an annual growth rate of 7.4%.

Global (Mining Oil and Gas Forestry and Agriculture) Analysis and Commentary ...paul young cpa, cga
The mining, oil, gas, agriculture, forestry, and mining continue to face environmental, social, and governance policy review including reporting of key metrics as part of ESG reporting cycle.
There is more focus on profitability and investment returns as part of the integrated planning and reporting cycle.
Summary:
The global economy faces what at least one forecaster is calling a mild trade recession as shipments from China slump and German factories downshift.
China’s export declines extended into August, though there were signs that the worst of a world trade slowdown may be over for the leading exporter.
Overseas shipments from China fell 8.8% in dollar terms from a year earlier while imports contracted 7.3%, both better than economists’ estimates and significantly less severe than July’s downturn.
Other data have suggested trade may be stabilizing after weakening for most of this year. Exports from South Korea also declined at a more moderate pace in August than the previous month.

The European Unemployment Puzzle: implications from population agingGRAPE
We study the link between the evolving age structure of the working population and unemployment. We build a large new Keynesian OLG model with a realistic age structure, labor market frictions, sticky prices, and aggregate shocks. Once calibrated to the European economy, we quantify the extent to which demographic changes over the last three decades have contributed to the decline of the unemployment rate. Our findings yield important implications for the future evolution of unemployment given the anticipated further aging of the working population in Europe. We also quantify the implications for optimal monetary policy: lowering inflation volatility becomes less costly in terms of GDP and unemployment volatility, which hints that optimal monetary policy may be more hawkish in an aging society. Finally, our results also propose a partial reversal of the European-US unemployment puzzle due to the fact that the share of young workers is expected to remain robust in the US.

how to sell pi coins in South Korea profitably.DOT TECH
Yes. You can sell your pi network coins in South Korea or any other country, by finding a verified pi merchant
What is a verified pi merchant?
Since pi network is not launched yet on any exchange, the only way you can sell pi coins is by selling to a verified pi merchant, and this is because pi network is not launched yet on any exchange and no pre-sale or ico offerings Is done on pi.
Since there is no pre-sale, the only way exchanges can get pi is by buying from miners. So a pi merchant facilitates these transactions by acting as a bridge for both transactions.
How can i find a pi vendor/merchant?
Well for those who haven't traded with a pi merchant or who don't already have one. I will leave the telegram id of my personal pi merchant who i trade pi with.
Tele gram: @Pi_vendor_247

• Canada’s economy went from 3% in 2017 to 1.9% in 2019. The USA economy grew at 2.2% in 2019.
• Canada took $1B surplus YTD Nov/15 and turned that into 15B+ deficit for growth on average of 2.0%. The CPC
were averaging 2.3% growth post-2009 recession.
• Goods-service sector lags the service sector in terms of job growth
• All levels of government have not prioritized the supply chain including making key products strategic to the
health of the economy - https://www.slideshare.net/paulyoungcga/how-to-reshore-supply-chain-management

spending or FDI spending or productivity improvement or affordable housing. BTW: Your so call super clusters have
been a failure!

18. AUTOMATION
Frost & Sullivan’s recent analysis finds that Internet of Things (IoT) adoption is growing in India. Backed by strong
connectivity and coverage, rising internet penetration, a surge in smart applications adoption, new business models,
and government initiatives such as smart city projects, the Indian IoT market is expected to reach $9.28 billion by
2025 from $4.98 billion in 2020. Pandemic-triggered changes in enterprise behavior and verticals’ focus on
automation are driving the market.

India along with other countries will continue to adopt IoT as part of 5G network expansion!

19. GREEN INFLATION AND THE CIRCULAR AND GREEN ECONOMY
I have written many presentations and blogs on the circular and green economies. My biggest frustration is that policy focus
has been to narrow in areas of carbon tax and more regulations. The main drivers of environment are land, water, forest
management, air quality, and waste management. Technology can play a role with protecting the environment without taxing
and overregulating the economy to death. We need to protect the environment while growing an inclusive economy.
I believe more focus should be on the tax act, R&D, strategic partnerships, standardization of ESG reporting, risk, and crisis
management, reforming the WTO, and better urban and rural planning. Countries that are highest polluters should be forced
to change their ways!

Summary:
Canada’s economic expansion showed signs of moderation in May and June, pulling back from a
strong start to the year in the face of high inflation and rising interest rates.
Output in June was on track for a small increase of 0.1 per cent after stalling in May, Statistics
Canada said on Friday. That follows three months of strong growth between February and April
that helped fuel a robust expansion in the second quarter, which the agency estimated at about
4.6 per cent annualized.
The results show a picture of an economy that was unscathed from the global slowdown in the
first part of the year but may be entering a period of much slower growth.
The Bank of Canada has raised its benchmark policy rate by more than two percentage points
since March to slow four-decade high inflation, and is expected to continue hiking by at least
another half-percentage point at its next policy decision in September
