Q3 2020: #Construction #Survey #Report Expectations pick-up despite Covid fears Respondents to the Q3 2020 RICS/CIQS Canada Construction Monitor were more #upbeat both about the current picture and the outlook despite signs that the economic recovery is flagging in the face of an upsurge in new #COVID19 cases. Significantly, the Bank of Canada has responded to more challenging macro picture by signaling that interest rates will remain at current lows until the inflation t...arget of 2% is ‘sustainably achieved’. On the Bank’s analysis, this does not occur until 2023. Workloads rebound in Q3 led by #infrastructure; Expectations return to positive territory in all sectors; Profit margins still expected to remain under some pressure.
