TORONTO – Five things to watch for in the Canadian business world in the coming week:
BCE investor day
Shareholders will hear from top executives at BCE Inc. when the parent company of Bell Canada holds its investor day on Tuesday. BCE, which is widely held by individual investors, cut its quarterly dividend to shareholders earlier this year.
Rogers speech
Bank of Canada senior deputy governor Carolyn Rogers will take part in a fireside chat about the urgent need to improve Canada’s productivity levels at the B.C. Business Summit in Vancouver on Tuesday. Rogers said in a speech at the Canadian Club Toronto last week that competition is a path to better productivity and took aim at high levels of concentration in the Canadian banking sector.
Global Forum conference
The Toronto Global Forum conference begins on Wednesday. The three-day meeting of business and political leaders comes as U.S. President Donald Trump upends global trade with tariffs. Speakers this year are expected to include Ontario Premier Doug Ford, Export Development Canada chief executive Alison Nankivell and Linamar executive chair Linda Hasenfratz.
Economic data
Statistics Canada is expected to release a pair of reports this week that will offer insight into how the economy fared in August. The agency is scheduled to publish its monthly survey of manufacturing and its wholesale trade data for the month on Wednesday.
Housing data
Two key data points for the Canadian housing market are expected Thursday. The Canadian Real Estate Association will report September home sales results and Canada Mortgage and Housing Corp. will publish its reading on housing starts for the same month.
This report by The Canadian Press was first published Oct. 12, 2025.
