- Economic growth will be moderate over the medium term.
- Labour markets performed well in 2019 and showed signs of improving fundamentals. However, the province will feel the drag of its aging demographics on its labour force moving forward.
- Investment in the province has declined significantly over the last 10 years. And with no major projects on the horizon, investment will grow only modestly over the medium term.
- Key goods-producing industries were weak in 2019 and will grow only moderately over the forecast.
- Demographics remain a key challenge for the province moving forward. The labour force will continue to shrink as baby boomers retire.
