- New Brunswick’s economy is expected to continue to grow over the next two years, making five consecutive years of economic growth.

- 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.
