2022 was marked by ongoing volatility in the global capital markets, which was fueled by soaring inflation rates, central banks raising interest rates at an unprecedented scale, the conflict in Ukraine and geopolitical uncertainty. The broader Canadian capital markets did not escape unscathed, as both market performance and underwriting activity were down year-over-year. However, the Canadian oil & gas sector was a bright spot in 2022, as oil & gas companies make up the biggest share of TSX's top performers in 2022 in large part due to a strong rebound in the price of oil and surging global demand for energy.

Against this backdrop, we are pleased to present our 2022 Year in Review and Future Trends publication, where we will take a look back at key developments impacting the securities and corporate finance landscape in Canada, and provide our outlook on anticipated trends for 2023.
