Overview: Manitoba Economy
Manitoba is centrally located in North America and has an extensive manufacturing, wholesale trade, transportation, and warehousing network that produces and distributes raw materials, manufactured goods and services across Canada and globally.
Diversified industrial base, with a majority of medium-sized industries.
Economic output and jobs are not concentrated in one particular sector or area. As a result, long-term progress is balanced by growth across different sectors.
Almost half of the provincial exports are destined for foreign markets while the other half are destined for Canadian provincial markets. This distribution is the most balanced among provinces.
Diversity in markets and in production lowers Manitoba’s external trade exposure for locally produced goods and services as well as jobs.

Manitoba Economy: Consistent Growth
Manitoba generates relatively stable annual economic growth over time, even during periods of increased volatility in financial and commodity markets.
Over the long-term, the province maintained consistent average annual growth in most key economic indicators.
Manitoba’s 10-year average annual real GDP growth has been relatively stable over the last 15 years, while the national average has declined.

Key Message
Growth in Canada is forecast to slow in 2018 and 2019.
Manitoba and Canada are both projected to grow at a similar pace.
Economic indicators are showing mixed results in 2018, some strengthening
(manufacturing, exports and vehicle sales), others at a similar pace to last year
(average weekly earnings, labour income and building permits) and some
slowing (housing starts, home sales, base metal output and employment).
Primary production is expected to slow in 2018, due to mine closures and
following a bumper crop.
Several major projects and events support growth: Roquette’s new $400
million pea-protein production facility; Simplot’s $460 million expansion;
Canadian National Railway’s announced $130 million in capital spending in 2018;
and the Winnipeg Jets’ playoff run.
Global growth is in line with expectations.
U.S. near-term growth is strengthening, but projections have been revised down
for the euro area, Japan, and the United Kingdom.
23
Uncertainties
Potential Opportunities
Stronger than expected increase in global demand.
Stronger than expected support to domestic demand from strong population growth.
Stable government infrastructure spending profile.
Positive spillovers from U.S. fiscal stimulus (tax cuts)
Higher base metal prices (+46%; nickel: +40%) have the potential to offer upside surprises
to the economic outlook.
Potential Risks
The U.S. decision to challenge Canada’s retaliatory tariffs at the World Trade Organization
adds a new unexpected dimension to trade tensions.
Rising interest rates and major tax changes in the U.S. and Canada could have a material
impact on capital and labour mobility.
NAFTA negotiations could significantly alter trade flows.
Federal housing measures could destabilize a relatively balanced housing market in
Manitoba.
Extreme weather conditions.
