RBC head of home equity states that there are reasons for cautious optimism that the market will start to recover later this year and next year. The Gross Domestic Product contracted at an annual rate of 3.4 percent in the fourth quarter of 2008, the worst showing since 1991, Statistics Canada announced in March. The data supports Bank of Canada Governor’s contention that record-low interest rates and hundreds of billions in government spending around the world could spark a rebound by the second half of this year. The glimmer of hope comes from the fact that Canada’s descent into recession last year was faster and deeper than the two previous economic contractions in the early 1990s and the early 1980s, suggesting a significant portion of the hurt that typically accompanies a downturn has already been felt. It is felt the unprecedented stimulus in the system promises to make it easier for companies and consumers to spark a recovery than at any time in history. The recovery is based on the fact that the U.S. recession doesn’t persist. Household spending fell for the first time in 13 years in the fourth quarter, even as income increased, suggesting consumers are too fearful of the future to do the spending that’s necessary to spark a recovery. People are worried about their futures and their jobs. Factory production declined 4.7 percent in the fourth quarter and exports dropped for the sixth consecutive quarter, the longest slump since Statscan started keeping records more than 60 years ago. Corporate profits collapsed 20 percent. Residential investment and spending on plants and equipment also plunged. Statscan noted that if there’s a bright spot in its report it was Canada’s relative strength compared with other big economies. The U.S. economy contracted at an annual rate of 6.2 percent in the fourth quarter of 2008, the European Union registered a decline of 5.9 percent and Japan’s economic output deteriorated 12.7 percent. An economist states that he’s optimistic the worst of the U.S. recession is over because of recent indicators that suggest the collapse of the housing market is finding a bottom, which would boost confidence and steady financial markets. In the fourth quarter, public spending was the only source of growth, according to Statscan. • OBITUARIES Bill Redman Portland, Ore.—Bill Redman, 63, recently passed away.
