  • The U.S. economy continues to expand and create jobs, but the ongoing European sovereign debt problems threaten to disrupt global economic activity and hurt Canada’s trade flows.
  • Strong commodity prices are boosting the economies of Western Canada. Real GDP growth in the region will far outpace the national average over the next two years.
  • Labour shortages are resurfacing out West and could be a drag on near-term growth there.
  • Fiscal policy will remain relatively loose in Alberta and Saskatchewan but will tighten in other provinces, limiting their economic growth over the near-term.
  • Atlantic Canada is facing modest near-term economic growth.
