7 PRESIDENT TRUMP S PROTECTIONIST DOCTRINE A major source of uncertainty 7 From this day forward, it is going to be only America first! Donald Trump
8 PROTECTIONISM Up until April, Trump targeted mostly Mexico 8 In US$ Hourly labour cost in the automobile industry We have a very outstanding trade relationship with Canada. We ll be tweaking it. We ll be doing certain things that will benefit both of our countries. Donald Trump, February 13, United States Canada Mexico Sources: Conference Board and Desjardins, Economic Studies
9 PROTECTIONISM but the rhetoric has hardened towards Canada 9 RULES OF ORIGIN BUY AMERICAN FOREIGN OWNERSHIP RESTRICTIONS LIKELY AMERICAN REQUESTS IMPACTING CANADA DISPUTE RESOLUTION SYSTEM CANADIAN PROCUREMENT SUPPLY MANAGEMENT IN AGRICULTURE CANADA ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES - Pro-trade advisors within Trump s circles - U.S. scandals could delay the renegotiation agenda - Deeply integrated manufacturing industries - Little bargaining power against the world s largest economy - Canada s protectionism track record is not entirely immaculate Canada will likely need to make important concessions in some industries. Canada could extract some concessions elsewhere but still low clarity on the likely net outcome Depending on details, some U.S. requests, such as pertaining to rules of origin, could be beneficial to Canada.
10 PROTECTIONISM The United States is Canada s biggest trading partner, by far 10 In % U.S. Relative size of Canadian goods exports in European Union without U.K. 7.6 China U.K. Japan Mexico India Other Sources: Industry Canada and Desjardins, Economic Studies
11 PROTECTIONISM The national cost of protectionism 11 Expectations of an improved trade balance push up currency values Hurt exports Diminish the intended effect of tariffs or import limits Tariffs drive prices higher for importers Higher input prices Potential investment pullback, due to the cost of imported equipment Higher consumer prices Reduce real disposable income Reduce monetary policy flexibility Reduced cost effectiveness Reduces productivity Reduces potential economic growth Possibility of recurrences and trade wars
12 PROTECTIONISM Impact of a Border Adjustment Tax (BAT) on Canada 12 Competitive shock in various sectors Automotive Metals Machines Professional services Agriculture Commodities Depreciation of the Canadian dollar In principle, when markets are competitive and efficient, higher average prices for U.S. imports should favour the greenback and push down the loonie Could mitigate or even wipe out the shock of a BAT Upside pressures on consumer prices Less expensive imported goods (without currency adjustment) Drag on economic activity Could potentially incite the Bank of Canada to lower its rates Possibility of retaliation Even greater negative impact on Canada s economy
