- Real GDP is set grow by 1.6 per cent in 2019 and 1.5 per cent in 2020.
- Continued population growth in the province will provide a base of support for household demand over the forecast.
- Ontario’s labour market performed remarkably this year. Going forward, weaker growth in the province’s economy will slow the pace of hiring.
- Trade uncertainty and slowing economic growth in the U.S. and globally is hampering the goods sector, while some moderation is also forecast for the services sector.
- The province has entered a period of spending restraint in order to rein in its budget deficits. As such, the public sector will make a smaller contribution to Ontario’s economy over the forecast.
- Trade will contribute to Ontario’s growth again, as softness on the domestic front is expected to weigh on import volumes.
