Did you know? Despite the common assumption that the higher oil prices rise, the better it is for the Canadian economy, recent numbers from RBC suggest that theory only goes so far. For example, should oil prices double from about $100 today to $200 and stay there for the remainder of the year, RBC’s 2011 GDP forecast would be cut by 1.5 percentage points to about 2 per cent. In Canada, higher oil prices are a mixed blessing, with oil producers reaping the rewards while oil consumers see costs rise and exporters face softer U.S. demand. As such, the overall effect on Canada’s growth is estimated to be about one-quarter of the effect it would have in the United States.

Businesses optimistic about economy Survey says strong loonie could mean upgrades, expansion cody stuart managing editor
A
n overwhelming majority (91 per cent) of Canadian franchisees are optimistic that the economy will grow or remain the same this year, according to a survey by BMO Bank of Montreal. The study also found that nine out of ten expect their business will expand or remain steady this year. “It’s encouraging to see the optimism among small business owners, including franchisees, in Canada,” said Steve Iskierski, senior manager, National Franchising Services, BMO Bank of Montreal. “Franchisees within both established and growing networks continue to benefit from their respective proven busi-
ness models, which bodes well for this sector and reaffirms this positive outlook.” The survey, conducted by Leger Marketing, also revealed that the top ways franchisees plan to take advantage of the strong loonie are to upgrade equipment (67 per cent) and expand operations (42 per cent). This anticipated expansion of Canadian franchises parallels the overall economic growth expected, with gross domestic product pegged at 3 per cent and retail sales values likely to rise more than 4 per cent. The many franchises that operate within the retail and service industry stand to benefit from sustained solid growth in the retail sector, said BMO Economics. “Gradually rising interest rates will slow consumer spending only slightly this year, while healthy job growth
will provide ongoing support,” said Sal Guatieri, Senior Economist, BMO Capital Markets. “Canadian retailers should enjoy another good year, though sales are likely to downshift modestly from the 5 per cent rate of last year.” According to the survey, franchised businesses account for 40 per cent of all retail sales in Canada, with more than 78,000 franchises employing more than 1 million people across the country.
A new survey from BMO suggests franchisees could be the biggest beneficiaries of a strong Canadian dollar.
