- Rising oil production and mining in Newfoundland and Labrador will spur GDP growth.
- Employment will continue to fall over the forecast as large construction projects are completed or postponed.
- Inflation will outpace the weak growth in incomes, thereby depressing the purchasing power of Newfoundlanders and Labradorians and reducing consumption growth.
- Future projects in mining and oil will slow the decline in total investment with help from marine seismic surveying, which will improve the efficiency of exploratory drilling.
- Although Newfoundland and Labrador’s deficit has increased by approximately $75 million, credit-rating agencies maintain that the province’s debt is stable.
- Newfoundland and Labrador will see gains from trade, led by oil exports, that will boost GDP.
