Canada expected to announce missed deficit targets as spending creeps up
- Canada is expected to announce on Monday it blew past its deficit target for last year, when Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland presents her mid-term budget, and economists said estimates for this year could also be higher as spending increases.
The article from Reuters discusses Canada's fiscal situation as of December 16, 2024. Canada is expected to announce that it has missed its deficit targets due to increased spending.
