One of Canada's most
trusted voices on the economy.
Over three decades of translating macroeconomics into the decisions that actually move boards, businesses, and balance sheets.
From EDC's Chief Economist's desk
to the boardrooms shaping Canada.
Peter Hall is CEO of Econosphere Inc., a boutique advisory firm guiding industry associations, corporations, and international initiatives through the world's most consequential economic shifts. He spent almost two decades at Export Development Canada, mostly as Chief Economist, leading a team of economists and country-risk analysts whose forecasts helped to shape billions of dollars of trade and investment decisions.
Today, leaders book Peter because he doesn't just describe what's happening in the economy — he tells them what to do about it. His work spans growth, inflation, interest rates, foreign exchange, global trade flows, geopolitical risk, and the industry-specific demand signals that matter most to the room he's standing in.
Peter is a sought-after media commentator and has appeared on BNN Bloomberg, CBC, CTV, and in the pages of the Globe and Mail, Financial Post, and other major Canadian newspapers. Over his carrier he has crisscrossed Canada countless times, delivering keynote presentations in most business centres. He has also delivered many presentations across the United States, and in Europe and Asia.
