Economic Outlook Remains Strong - Edmonton's Powerhouse Economy to Continue
An updated version of the Greater Edmonton Economic Outlook 2007 is available online to provide Greater Edmonton businesses with valuable market intelligence.
High energy prices, strong consumer spending, economic spin-offs from strong economic activity and over $50 billion in proposed regional projects will keep economic conditions strong in the Edmonton Census Metropolitan Area (CMA) over the next five years.
Although labour, migration, housing and inflation remain areas of concern, Edmonton's diverse economy is projected to experience annual GDP growth greater than four percent in the next five years.
Edmonton Economic Development Corp. (EEDC) has partnered with the City of Edmonton to develop this update to the report originally released in January 2007. EEDC is moving towards a collaborative approach for developing the region's annual economic outlook report.
Data for the outlook has been gathered from many different expert sources including the City of Edmonton Forecast Committee, the Conference Board of Canada and other external organizations.
