1 2015 Economic Outlook Greater Sudbury Presented by the Credit Unions of Ontario, the Ontario Chamber of Commerce, and the Greater Sudbury Chamber of Commerce. 1 The unemployment rate in the Greater Sudbury CMA is expected to slide to 5.8 percent in 2016, well down from its recent peak of 9.3.percent in The Greater Sudbury Census Metropolitan Area (CMA) has 165,000 residents. It is Northeastern Ontario s main service and distribution hub. The city s major industries are healthsocial services, primary resources and retail-wholesale trade The industries contributing most to near-term economic growth are primary resource industries, retail-wholesale trade, health-social services and a variety of other service industries. Construction contributes only marginally to forecast growth. Economic output from education The fortunes of Greater Sudbury services and public administration will 2 Total employment for the Greater Sudbury CMA is forecast to remain steady in 2015 and edge up 0.5 percent in and the surrounding region are closely entwined with the outlook for global markets for primary products such as steel and metals. Although commodity prices are expected to rise from current lows, economic growth will remain sluggish in the decline slightly in the near term. New capacity has contributed to increased gold production in Northeastern Ontario. For the province as a whole, gold production was up 27.8 percent in the first 10 3 Average housing prices are edging up slowly in the Greater Sudbury CMA, and are projected to reach an average price of $256,000 by 2016 near term as producers respond cautiously and the population in the region continues to shrink. In the meantime, labour markets and consumer spending are projected to remain weak as government investment and regional population growth essentially stall over the months of last year. Production of other minerals has been mixed. Moving forward, the mining sector will be supported by the outlook for moderate improvement in commodity prices. Nickel, zinc and lead prices are expected to move higher over the next two years, with forecast period. copper prices following in 2016 as the U.S. economy picks up steam and Modest job growth, however, is the global economic recovery slowly expected to return after this year, takes hold. with government services, retailwholesale trade and manufacturing The recent opening of Vale Canada s each contributing.

2 residential building construction is forecast to decline in 2015 while public-sector investment in non-residential building construction remains stalled. Commercial building construction in the Greater Sudbury CMA jumped last year and is expected to fall back to historical levels in 2015 and Market conditions are not conducive to a sustained marketwide investment upturn and more dependent on project-specific investments, including the planned construction of a 60,000-square-foot retail centre. Housing market activity generally tracks local economic and population trends as well as broader factors such as mortgage rates. Even though mortgage rates were at record lows last year, sales declined an estimated 6.6 percent and marked the third consecutive annual decline. Net out-migration and minimal employment growth since the recession are negative local demand factors overriding the positive effect of low rates. Given the outlook for these key local factors, no significant departure from recent trends is expected. Rangebound housing sales and prices are expected over the forecast period. Sales are forecast to slide lower in 2015 and rebound slightly in The average sale price will edge up by 1.2 percent in both 2015 and 2016, outperforming the rest of Northeastern Ontario. Residential construction tracks housing sales and is likely to remain rangebound at a slightly lower level rising modestly through 2016 supported more by the replacement of older housing stock rather than new household formation. The higher rental vacancy rate in Great Sudbury will result in fewer rental apartment starts. Residential permits issued declined an estimated 13.8 percent last year. Total employment is forecast to remain steady in 2015 and edge up 0.5 percent in The unemployment rate will edge lower as employment growth exceeds growth in the labour force due to aging demographics and out-migration.

The expected improvement is broadly based across industries and regions, though some manufacturers will experience negative fallout from the decline in exports to oil-producing growth to 2.7 percent in each of the next two years. This compares to an estimated 1.9 percent in 2014 and 1.3 percent actual in provinces. Overall, Ontario is a net The global economic recovery 2 Regional economies boosted by varying degrees. beneficiary of low oil prices and, when combined with other drivers such as the lower Canadian dollar remains uneven and slow, with weakness in Europe, slowing growth in China, recession in Brazil and and faster U.S. economic growth, Russia, and sluggish commodity- 3 Narrowing regional growth disparities. economic prospects are improving.

4 be 0.5 percent in This will cause the Bank of Canada to hold off on a rate increase until the first quarter of 2016 and possibly later. With the U.S. Fed poised for its first rate increase around mid-2015, the narrowing interest rate differential, along with the widening growth differential, will put downward pressure on the Canadian dollar. reduced oil-related costs, the lower loonie, ongoing low interest rates, and improved provincial growth will benefit all regions, though initial conditions and industry-specifics will contribute to some growth differences. The improved growth backdrop will take time for its benefits to work through the economy with growth gaining momentum through Interprovincial migration flows will reflect the changing economic circumstances between the oil-producing regions of the country and the rest of Canada. Ontario s net interprovincial outflow to Alberta of about 15,000 persons annually will decline and turn into a net inflow, providing a small lift to the province s population growth rate. There are negative impacts from the oil price collapse that will ripple through Ontario s economy. Less capital expenditure by oil companies will mean less demand for machinery, equipment, fabricated metal products, professionaltechnical services, and financing from Ontario firms. Job layoffs in the oil patch will translate directly to lower income for commuting workers from Ontario. Lower government revenue from these sources is another negative. Gauging the net positives and negatives from lower oil prices depends on how low prices will fall and for how long. Current thinking is that it is a net positive for Ontario and other oil-importing provinces. The housing market will hold up and post further gains under improving economic and population growth, low interest rates, and pent-up demand in some of the province s regions. Markets in the manufacturing regions stand to gain the most given their modest recovery since the recession. Manufacturing-oriented economies outside of the Toronto and Kitchener-Waterloo-Barrie regions are beginning to see gains and are poised for faster growth. The composition of manufacturing activities in a region will make a difference as well, but a general improvement is likely in most types of manufacturing. Southwestern regions and the Hamilton-Niagara region are favourably positioned and also have the added advantage of robust agricultural and, in some cases, tourism sectors. Northern regions will continue to lag because of their large dependence on the mining sector, which faces weak prices and export prospects as long as slow growth persists in emerging markets such as China. However, the wood products sector faces better prospects from rising U.S. housing starts. One trend not expected to change soon is the dominance of a metropolitan area in a region relative to rural centres. In some regions, economic and population trends are considerably less positive in those rural areas than in the larger, more industry-diversified metro area, which is usually a region s service and distribution hub. Regional growth rotation Ontario s regional economies are quite diverse in their industry makeup though some dominant aspects exist in several of them.
