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

Outlook survey

The Bank of Canada will publish its business outlook survey and Canadian survey of consumer expectations on Monday. The report comes ahead of the central bank’s next interest rate decision and monetary policy report set for July 15.

Carney

Prime Minister Mark Carney is on the road this week as he heads to the NATO summit in Turkey on Monday before heading to Saudi Arabia later in the week. Carney will cross paths with U.S. President Donald Trump at the NATO summit for the first time since the U.S. said it would not renew its trade deal with Canada and Mexico in its current form.
