No Recession in Canada, Scotiabank's CEO Says -- Market Talk

Dow Jones

1231 ET - Canada isn't in a recession, concludes Bank of Nova Scotia CEO Scott Thomson. That is despite arguments to the contrary after GDP contacted two straight quarters, albeit only marginally in the latest quarter. Appearing on CNBC, Thomson makes the case that indicators argue against recession, including a big rebound in hiring last month, per-capita consumption rose quarter-over-quarter and early indications show GDP was up relatively strongly in April. "I think obviously Canada's strength in resources is fitting the moment so well." Scotiabank's Thomson also says the government in Ottawa is very pro-growth and international investors, who have historically left Canada, are now back in. He points to Shell's recent deal to buy Canada's Arc Resources as a sign of returning investment in the country. (robb.stewart@wsj.com)
