Chloe Macdonald

Chloe Macdonald is a Canadian economic writer known for translating complex fiscal policy into clear, evidence-based reporting. She began her journalism career at a local business desk in Halifax, covering municipal budgets, regional trade, and the fallout of global supply disruptions on Atlantic industries. Over the past decade, Chloe has worked as an economics reporter and later as a senior writer for national audiences, focusing on inflation dynamics, housing affordability, labor markets, and productivity trends. Her work often draws on government statistics, central bank communications, and independent research, with an emphasis on how policy choices affect households and small businesses. Chloe’s reporting has earned recognition for accuracy and context, particularly in long-form explainers that help readers understand mortgage rate transmission, wage growth, and corporate tax implications. She continues to grow her beat by partnering with data editors, refining interview techniques with economists, and maintaining a newsroom workflow grounded in verification and transparency.
