Five things to watch for in the Canadian business world in the coming week

Canadian business-watchers have a busy week ahead, led by corporate earnings, central-bank signals and a steady flow of economic data. Several companies report results beginning Monday: Barrick Mining Corp., followed Tuesday by Finning International Inc. and Hydro One Ltd. Wednesday brings CGI Inc., Cargojet Inc., CAE Inc. and Power Corp. of Canada, while Brookfield Corp. and Canadian Tire Corp. Ltd. are set for Thursday. Onex Corp. reports on Friday. The Bank of Canada will release Tuesday its summary of deliberations from last month’s rate decision, when it raised its key rate by 0.25 point to 2.5%, citing risks that elevated energy prices could spread into broader inflation. Other items include a Canadian Economic Club panel on turning defense spending into lasting value, a speech by Finance Minister François‑Philippe Champagne in Toronto on Friday, and Statistics Canada’s September manufacturing survey and wholesale trade report.
