Brian Crombie Radio Hour - Epi 816 - Issues in the Housing Market with Aled ab Iorwerth

Brian interviews Aled ab Iorwerth. Aled has been at CMHC as deputy chief economist since 2016. Prior to then he had held a series of positions in economic research, mostly at the federal Department of Finance. Aled has a PhD in economics from Western University, London, and was born in Richmond Hill, but grew up in Wales. The main questions we discuss relate to the housing market: why should we worry about housing affordability, what has been driving house prices and interest rates, government restrictions and the economy?
