- Prince Edward Island will outpace its Atlantic neighbours in economic growth but lag behind the national average.
- Limiting potential output growth is the aging of the population, which will be more pronounced on the Island than elsewhere in Canada.
- The greying of the population will lead to high demand for health care and social services, presenting a significant challenge for Island finances.
- The province has begun to attract more immigrants, which could help mitigate the impacts of population aging on the Island’s economy.
