BOC survey showed nearly half of consumers expect a recession over the next year. Consumer surveys conducted Oct. 31 to Dec. 3.
BOC says uncertainty around new US administration is prevalent among firms.
In a separate Business Leaders' Pulse survey in December, 40% anticipated negative effects from the new US administration mainly due to higher input costs amid trade tensions. Impacts on selling prices were mixed with some planning to raise prices while others holding increases back to stay competitive.
