Canada | Acceleration in vaccines will boost economy in the remainder of 2021

With a second surge of COVID in April, Canada sustained a longer lockdown than the US. GDP climbed 1.4% in the first quarter while employment increased 0.2%. Vaccinations accelerated in the quarter, pushing the rate to just under 20% of the population fully vaccinated. Rates are expected to be on par with the US by September, which should boost GDP to its 2019 peak in Q3 2021.

Takaichi’s big win doesn’t affect the fiscal outlook for Japan

The ruling Liberal Democratic Party's (LDP) landslide election victory on Sunday doesn't change our expectation of a primary fiscal deficit of 2%-3% of GDP in FY2026-FY2028 – we still see the deficit only starting to decline from FY2029. We also keep our view that the 10-year Japanese government bond (JGB) yield will be at 2.3% at end-2026 and 2.5% at end-2027 and beyond.
