Moving forward in an uncertain world The economic outlook for Canada and Newfoundland and Labrador RBC ECONOMICS I RESEARCH Robert Hogue Senior Economist Professional Engineers and Geoscientists Newfoundland and Labrador Gander June 8, 2012

ECONOMICS I RESEARCH 2 Economic indicators point to slow growth, not to an absolute decline Another global recession is not upon us

ECONOMICS I RESEARCH 3 IMF projects 3.5% in 2012 vs. 3.7% average since 2000 Close to average global growth to continue this year

ECONOMICS I RESEARCH 4 Contrast persists: emerging (≈6%) vs. advanced (1-2%) economies China and other fast-growing economies carry the load

ECONOMICS I RESEARCH 5 Driven by faster-growing China et al. and recovering U.S. economy Global demand for natural resources still generally solid…

ECONOMICS I RESEARCH 6 With some exceptions, commodity prices are likely to stay elevated … and will keep commodity prices at profitable levels

ECONOMICS I RESEARCH 7 Yet, economy still quite vulnerable to negative shocks U.S. growth on an gradually accelerating path

ECONOMICS I RESEARCH 8 The Fed expected to leave its rate unchanged until 2014 U.S. monetary policy extremely stimulative

ECONOMICS I RESEARCH 9 We assume that some of the tax cuts set to expire will be prolonged U.S. outlook contingent on the extension of fiscal measures…

ECONOMICS I RESEARCH 10 Weather muddied the employment picture so far this year …and stronger job creation

ECONOMICS I RESEARCH 11 Financing is becoming increasingly available The U.S. credit mechanism is functioning better

ECONOMICS I RESEARCH 12 Significant motor vehicle replacement cycle at play U.S. consumers will bring it up a (small) notch

ECONOMICS I RESEARCH 13 Facing intense competition and striving to enhance productivity U.S. businesses will boost their capital investment

ECONOMICS I RESEARCH 14 Slower-than-expected start to the year but pace will improve Growth in Canada in 2012 will be little changed from 2011…

ECONOMICS I RESEARCH 15 The biggest difference will be a turnaround in external trade …but its composition will differ

ECONOMICS I RESEARCH 16 Pick-up in E&S investment, industrial production, auto sector will be key External trade will benefit from stronger U.S. demand

ECONOMICS I RESEARCH 17 This provides a huge lift to incomes in our country Canada enjoys favourable terms of trade…

ECONOMICS I RESEARCH 18 Although Canadians will show more restraint than pre-recession …and this lends continued support to consumers…

ECONOMICS I RESEARCH 19 At the very least, accumulation of debt will slow …although heavy debt loads will beg increased prudence

ECONOMICS I RESEARCH 20 No crash in view, however Canada’s housing market will show some moderation

ECONOMICS I RESEARCH 21 Spending boom in the resource sector Business investment still a key driver of activity

ECONOMICS I RESEARCH 22 Stimulus is over; now comes the drag from the Action Plan Fiscal policy will be restrictive as governments fight deficits

ECONOMICS I RESEARCH 23 We expect the output gap to close early next year Bank of Canada will start raising rate late this year…

ECONOMICS I RESEARCH 24 BoC’s move will precede the Fed by more than a year …pressuring short-term spreads with U.S. rates upwards…

ECONOMICS I RESEARCH 25 Substantial near-term volatility as investor risk appetite fluctuates …and eventually the C$ higher

ECONOMICS I RESEARCH 26 Newfoundland and Labrador ‘reloading’ this year Western Provinces benefiting from the commodities boom

ECONOMICS I RESEARCH 27 Outpaced the national average in the past two years Newfoundland and Labrador economy in growth mode

ECONOMICS I RESEARCH 28 Mining and oil and gas extraction accounts for half of provincial GDP Performance heavily depends on resource production

ECONOMICS I RESEARCH 29 Maintenance shutdowns at Terra Nova and White Rose Lower offshore oil production to slow things down this year…

ECONOMICS I RESEARCH 30 Strong increase in iron ore output …but mineral production will kick into higher gear

ECONOMICS I RESEARCH 31 Will support consumer spending and housing Employment is on an upswing in the province

ECONOMICS I RESEARCH 32 Record spending projected this year Capital investment a catalyst of activity in N&L

ECONOMICS I RESEARCH 33 Better economic prospects should retain and attract workers Demographic situation on an improving trend
