The Atlantic Canada Momentum Index

Abstract

This report develops and presents the Atlantic Canada Momentum Index, a scorecard of 20 indicators in six domains — macro-economy, human capital, labour market performance, innovation and investment, quality of life, and overall life satisfaction — to assess economic momentum in Atlantic Canada. Atlantic Canada has gathered significant economic momentum since the mid-2010s, recording population growth and improvements across a broad range of indicators that have significantly outpaced Canada as a whole. The report provides fact sheets for each of the four Atlantic provinces and identifies areas experiencing momentum and areas still lacking it.
