47 Less Inflationary Pressure from the Energy and Oil Sectors Short-term perspective: uncertainty and consolidation in the oil sector: rebound in oil prices to US$80 within a year. The world, and the U.S. in particular, still relies on fossil fuels but Technology: other, less costly energy sources; substitution possible. Global energy demand to increase by 50% by However, owing to energy efficiency, the portion of spending that goes towards energy should decrease. The inflationary effect should therefore diminish. 47

52 Summary A new revolution will make labour costs even lower, with corresponding impacts on unemployment and labour force participation in Quebec, among other things. Multipolar world: economic integration of Quebec with the U.S. and the ROC, and to a lesser extent Asia. Domestic players more likely to impede growth of real GDP in Quebec over the long term. Productivity gains, which are difficult to calculate, will not necessarily bring higher wages. Because of a number of global factors, it is increasingly likely that inflation will remain lower and that the central banks will need to set other objectives. 52
