Export Outlook: A Provincial Perspective

The following is excerpted from a 7 November 2013 commentary by Peter G. Hall of Export Development Canada.

All eyes are on international trade as we head into 2014. If we as a country are going to chalk up decent growth numbers, external activity is going to have to punch above its weight.

Which of them won’t benefit from an upswing in US growth, a sustained gentle decline in the Canadian dollar or strong international demand for Canada’s primary resources? Even so, growth patterns across the land vary considerably as the pricing environment, one-off market factors and supply conditions alter short-run prospects.
