Speaker to make financial predictions for 2012

Douglas Porter of BMO Capital Markets will give a talk on how the financial trends of 2011 may impact 2012 at a Greater Sudbury Chamber of Commerce luncheon Dec. 14.

The event will take place starting at 12 p.m. at Bryston's on the Park in Copper Cliff.

Porter is the deputy chief economist and managing director of BMO Capital Markets.

He “has analyzed and written about trends in the Canadian and global economies and financial markets for more than 25 years,” according to a press release from the chamber.

“He is a regular commentator on economic and financial trends to the media and is particularly known for bringing to light what Statistics Canada said was its most serious error on record (on the consumer price index), and for highlighting the large price gaps on many consumer goods between Canada and the United States.”
