Politicians are usually criticized regardless of whether they embrace austerity or undertake new spending in regards to new authorities budgets. Canadian Finance Minister Joe Oliver’s spending restraint should be appreciated, however, at a time when $57 trillion has jumped with authorities accounting for $25 trillion of the extra obligations, since the so called Age of Austerity started in 2007.
Oliver has been criticized for his plans to cut on the small business tax rate, because the move will widen the gap between what large businesses and small business pay in taxes and will potentially incentivize business to stay small. But new research discussed in this article demonstrates that a country’s strongest, biggest companies get hit with ratings that are not better than that of the state quicker and more frequently than businesses with a lesser evaluation after a sovereign downgrade. This asymmetric effect results in a greater reduction in investment for a state’s healthiest firms, while also raising their cost of capital by pushing up their bond returns. In light of these findings, this article claims that companies large and small-scale stand to profit from Canada’s return under Joe Oliver to excess.
