Justin Trudeau is not concerned with the global economic recession at all. During the last interview, Prime Minister said that crisis is inevitable but the country will do everything to avoid future problems. Trudeau has talked about the impact of the digital economy on the country’s future. World leaders ask for everyone to focus more on digital transactions. Money may be the source of Covid-19 as China has already disinfected money banknotes to avoid Covid-19 spread. It’s believed Covid-19 is alive for a few hours on the surface of money banknotes. Canadian Prime minister said that the digital economy can help a country to go through recession successfully. Avoid banknotes is the first step and focusing more on digital currencies is the next one.

The housing market can have a big hit in the EU along with Canada
According to official data, the price of houses increased by 4.1% in the EU in the third quarter of 2019. It means that the housing market was on the verge of big success. The Covid-19 outbreak happened at the worst time as economists are waiting for a big decrease in interest. Unlike Canada where country officials believe in more interest from buyers, the EU will have a rate drop by 5%. Coronavirus has already slowed down the Chinese property market, and economists are waiting for the same results in the EU.
The Canadian housing market is on the precipice of a breakthrough as mortgage rates drop, diverting the nation’s focus from COVID-19 issues to the market’s current state. The threat of economic recession, lowered interest rates imposed by the Bank of Canada may set off a massive decline in the market’s mortgage rates, and it possibly could attract more buyers to the market.
Economists believe that the most convenient time to buy a house in Canada is now, as most Canadians are more concerned with buying their dream home than worrying about issues concerning the COVID-19 outbreak or a recession.
Brisk buying season will be incited by several factors this year. These factors include the Government’s implementation of improved mortgage rules, as well as appealing mortgage rates offered by Canadian banks today.
The lowering of interest and mortgage rates are all excellent news for the whole market. The only thing that will change this current setup is if the COVID-19 virus takes an unprecedented turn for the worse or unemployment jumps immensely.
