- At 2.1 per cent, Nova Scotia is on track this year to see its strongest real GDP growth in a decade.
- Despite an aging population, solid levels of international immigration and positive interprovincial migration will keep the province’s population growing over the forecast.
- Conditions for household spending remain favourable, thanks to a decent pace of population, employment, and wage growth.
- National shipbuilding programs are sustaining growth in the province’s manufacturing sector.
- Non-residential investment spending is forecast to improve over the near term as construction work on the Goldboro liquefied natural gas project is expected to ramp up, starting in 2021.
- Rising global demand for seafood, the provisional implementation of CETA, and upgrades to transportation infrastructure support our view that demand for Nova Scotia exports will rise over the forecast.
