- Weak demographic fundamentals will limit real GDP growth over the long term: real GDP growth will decelerate from an average annual of 1.7 per cent in 2014–19 to just 1 per cent for the rest of the forecast.
- The aging of the population and resulting increase in the death rate will offset international migration gains and cause the population to decline.
- The increasing wave of the retiring baby boomers will limit overall labour force growth, weighing down potential output in the province.
- The rise in the number of seniors will exert fiscal pressures on the provincial government’s purse at a time of limited revenue-generating capacity.
- Given the softer domestic demand, inflationary pressures are expected to remain at bay over the long term.
