- Real GDP will advance at an annual average pace of 0.9 per cent between 2017 and 2040.
- The decline in the population will weigh down potential output growth and impact all areas of the economy.
- Consumer spending preferences will shift away from goods and housing and toward services.
- Our outlook for business investment in the coming decade gets a boost from the refurbishment of the Mactaquac power generating station. However, the gains will be short-lived as demand for housing falls and no other major projects are on the horizon.
- Faced with revenue shortfalls and increased spending on pension benefits and health care, governments will have to keep a tight rein on overall spending over the long term.
