- New Brunswick’s economy is expected to continue to grow over the next two years, making five consecutive years of economic growth.
- Immigration will temporarily increase the labour force. However, negative interprovincial migration remains a substantial impediment to population growth. No significant gains are projected in employment over the next two years.
- NB Power projects help to brighten the outlook for business investment.
- The province’s trade outlook is very uncertain, given the climate surrounding the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA).
- Many large companies, including WestJet and Toronto Dominion Bank (TD), are setting up business centres in the province, contributing to growth in commercial services.
