Overview

• 	Growth in the North American economies continued at a strong pace in 1999. Led by investment and exports, Canada 
showed economic growth of 4.2%. In New Brunswick, major construction projects in the transportation, manufacturing, and 
energy sectors resulted in real Gross Domestic Product (GDP) increasing 3.6%. The provincial economy benefited from 
broad-based expansion and diversification. 

• 	Increases in New Brunswick capital investment, retail trade, restaurant receipts, farm cash receipts, housing starts, 
employment, and wages and salaries surpassed national rates. Exports increased by 11.2%, influenced by improved 
commodity prices. Tourism revenue reached a new high. The rise in the Consumer Price Index was below the national 
increase.

• 	Provincial employment reached a record high in 1999, increasing 3.3% to 328,400. The majority of the employment gains 
were in full-time jobs. With slower growth in the labour force, the unemployment rate dropped to a new low of 10.2%. The 
participation rate rose for the third year in a row to 61.0%. 

• 	For 2000, economic growth in North America is expected to moderate somewhat but remain strong. Real GDP in New 
Brunswick is projected to grow by 2.8%. Construction activity will continue to provide a positive impact as the Fredericton 
to Moncton highway, oil refinery expansion and projects related to natural gas generate significant activity. Diversification 
efforts in manufacturing, forestry, the service sector, agriculture and fishing will continue. Commodity prices are anticipated 
to show further improvement. The provincial unemployment rate is expected to make additional progress. Consumer 
inflation will remain comparable to the national average. 

International Economy

• 	The 1999 world economy operated above expectations, growing by 3%. There was little evidence of sustained inflationary 
pressures, although interest rates were raised in the U.S., United Kingdom and European Union. Unemployment was reduced 
in 1999.

• 	The world economy is expected to be modestly stronger in 2000 with inflation anticipated to be around 2% and 
unemployment edging downward.

• 	The U.S. economy continued to be strong in 1999, mainly due to business investment, particularly in the information and 
technology area, and consumer spending. In 2000, growth in the U.S. economy is anticipated to slow slightly.

• 	As a result of strong public sector stimulus as well as resolution of problems in the banking system, Japan posted a modest 
increase in growth in 1999 and is expected to do the same in 2000. The other Asian economies began a recovery with 
stronger than anticipated growth.

• 	The key to world economic growth in 2000 is a strong U.S. economy and continued recovery in Asia.

Canadian Economy

• 	Led by growth in investment and exports, Canada’s economic performance in 1999 was one of the best of the G7 nations. 
Favourable commodity prices fueled exports. Investment growth, particularly in machinery and equipment, was partly linked 
to Y2K issues.

• 	Inflation increased modestly but remained near the mid-point of the Bank of Canada target range of 1% to 3%.

• 	Employment rose by 2.8% in 1999 to 14.5 million. The unemployment rate declined to 7.6%, the lowest rate in a decade.

• 	The Canadian economy is poised to perform well in 2000 with growth just below that of 1999. Inflation is anticipated to stay 
in the 2% range, and consumer spending is expected to increase.

2As of July 1 / Au 1er juillet


GDP Growth Higher in 1999

• 	The New Brunswick economy strengthened in 1999 as major construction projects in the transportation, manufacturing, and 
energy sectors fueled growth in the province.

• 	According to private sector forecasters, New Brunswick’s real GDP will grow in the 3.0% to 4.5% range.

• 	Strong growth occurred in the construction, manufacturing, trade, communications, tourism, business services, and 
information technology sectors. A modest increase in world commodity prices led to improved conditions for New 
Brunswick’s traditional resource industries.

• 	In 1999, the goods producing industries posted stronger growth than the service producing industries. The public sector is 
expected to show positive growth.

• 	Personal income increased 4.0% due to strong labour income growth and a rise in government transfer payments. Corporate 
profits registered significant growth.

• 	On the expenditure side of the accounts, there was strong growth in personal expenditures on goods and services. 
Government current spending increased. Capital investment by business rose markedly in 1999 as work intensified on major 
construction projects.

GDP Growth Strong in 2000

• 	For 2000, private sector forecasters are anticipating growth in real GDP for New Brunswick between 2.5% and 3.4%. As 
investment levels stabilize and growth in the U.S. economy slows slightly, economic activity is expected to moderate from 
the 3.6% growth registered in 1999.

• 	Most industries should see positive growth in New Brunswick, with resource industries reporting a stronger performance as 
commodity prices continue to improve. 

• 	The construction industry should maintain its strong performance as work continues on the Fredericton to Moncton four-lane 
highway project and the $1-billion Irving Oil refinery expansion. Capital projects related to natural gas, including the $93-
million Saint John lateral pipeline, the distribution system and the $180-million conversion of the Courtenay Bay power 
plant, will provide further strength to the provincial economy in 2000.

• 	The New Brunswick economy is forecast to increase 2.8% in 2000, stimulated by growth in labour income and corporate 
profits.

Exports Growing

• 	Foreign exports from New Brunswick rose 11.2% in 1999. Commodity prices had a significant impact on the fluctuation in 
the value of exports.

• 	Most of the gain is attributable to large increases in exports of energy (21.2%) and food products (13.4%). Exports of 
forestry products rose 5.6%, while machinery and equipment increased 19.8%.

• 	Forestry products (41.8%), energy (24.5%), and food (18.7%) represent 85% of New Brunswick exports.

• 	The U.S. receives over 80% of New Brunswick’s exports. Japan (3%) and Brazil (2%) are the province’s other main trading 
partners.


Inflation Remains Low

• 	The Consumer Price Index (CPI) for New Brunswick increased 1.6% in 1999, more than double last year’s rate, but well 
within the Bank of Canada’s target range of 1% to 3%.

• 	New Brunswick’s inflation continues to be below the Canadian average.

• 	Consumer prices in the province rose in all eight major components of the CPI, with transportation prices registering the 
largest gain (up 2.8%) following price declines in 1998.

• 	In 2000, the New Brunswick CPI is expected to increase at a rate similar to the national average of about 2%.


Retail Trade Growth Continues

• 	Retail sales increased 8.5% in 1999, ahead of the national average. New Brunswick’s sales have grown faster than Canada’s 
in four of the last five years.

• 	Double-digit sales growth was recorded for New Brunswick motor vehicle and recreational vehicle dealers, household 
furnishings and appliance stores, specialty semi-durable goods stores, and shoe stores. Men’s clothing stores showed a 
decline in sales.

• 	New motor vehicle sales continued their strong performance. In 1999, the value of new vehicle sales increased 12.7% while 
the number of new vehicles sold was up 10.2%.

• 	Wholesale trade increased 9.7% in 1999.


Wages and Salaries Increase

• 	For 1999, New Brunswick wages and salaries grew 4.7%, slightly above the national increase of 4.6%.

• 	Growth was higher for the goods producing sector (5.2%) than the service sector (4.4%).

• 	Among the major industry categories the highest growth was reported in construction (9.5%), utilities (8.1%), and public 
administration (6.5%). There were significant increases in the federal government and military.

• 	Logging and forestry (-10.2%) recorded the only decline.


Record Employment

• 	Employment in New Brunswick reached a record high of 328,400 in 1999. The growth in employment was 10,600 or 3.3%. 
Nationally, the number of employed increased by 2.8%.

• 	The majority of employment gains were registered in full-time jobs, accounting for 84% of all jobs in New Brunswick.

• 	The number of working youths (those 15-24 years of age) increased for the second consecutive year (up 2,300), while gains 
among people 25 years and over were almost double last year’s increase (up 8,300).

• 	The participation rate rose for the third consecutive year to 61.0% in 1999, the best performance since 1976, shrinking the 
gap with the national average.

• 	Employment is projected to rise by 2% in 2000.


Service Sector Employment Strongest

• 	For the second consecutive year, New Brunswick’s service sector generated most of the employment increase, up 9,400 in 
1999.

• 	Of the 11 service industries, the largest gains occurred in trade (2,700), and information, culture and recreation (2,600) 
industries. Job losses were suffered in the health care and social assistance industry (800), as well as the professional, 
scientific and technical services industry (300).

• 	Among the five goods producing industries, manufacturing reported the strongest gain (2,600) followed by utilities (300). 
Employment declines were evident in construction (500), agriculture (600) and natural resources (700). The net result was a 
gain of 1,200. 

• 	In 1999, the service sector employed 248,100 and the goods producing sector 80,300.


Unemployment Rate Declines

• 	Employment growth outpaced labour force growth in 1999. New Brunswick’s unemployment rate fell to 10.2%, its lowest 
rate since 1976.

• 	Provincial unemployment dropped 15.4% to 37,300, the least number of unemployed since 1981. Nationally, unemployment 
fell by 6.8%.

• 	Unemployment levels and rates for males and females in New Brunswick decreased from the previous year, with the 
unemployment rate for females falling below 10%.

• 	Unemployment rates declined for all age groups.

• 	Employment growth contributed to improved unemployment rates in all five regions of the province in 1999.

• 	The unemployment rate in 2000 is forecast to fall below 10%. 


Population Growth Slow

• 	On July 1, 1999, New Brunswick’s population increased 0.2% to 754,969, up from last year’s 0.1% decline. Canada’s 
population increased only 0.8%, the slowest growth rate since 1971.

• 	Total growth of 1,500 was the largest increase for the province since 1991-92.

• 	In the 12 months ending June 30, 1999, the number of births dropped to 7,700, while the number of deaths rose to 6,100. As 
a result, the natural increase of the population fell to its lowest level ever.

• 	Interprovincial migration displayed a net loss but was offset by international migration.

• 	New Brunswick’s population is projected to increase 0.1% in 2000.


Aging Population

• 	The median age of New Brunswick’s population reached 37.0 years in 1999, slightly above the national average of 36.4 
years.

• 	Population distribution in 1999 continued to fall in the younger age groups, to 18.3% for children 0-14 years and 21.0% for 
persons aged 15-29 years.

• 	Persons aged 30-49 years, representing 32.0% of the total population, declined for the third year in a row.

• 	The oldest baby boomers, now in their early fifties, increased the 50-64 year age group’s share to 15.8%.

• 	The proportion of seniors continued to grow, with young seniors (65-79 years) making up 9.6% of the total population and 
older seniors (80 years and over) comprising 3.3%.


Record Capital Investment

• 	Capital investment reached a record $3.7 billion in 1999, an increase of 20.9%. Nationally, investment increased 4.2%.

• 	Construction activity in New Brunswick increased substantially as work intensified on the Fredericton to Moncton four-lane 
highway project, the natural gas pipeline and the Irving Oil refinery expansion.

• 	Estimates for 1999 show spending by the private sector, representing over 80% of total investment, increased 27.2%, while 
public investment fell 2.9%.

• 	Spending on construction increased 31.9% to $2.3 billion, while investment in machinery and equipment rose 6.1% to $1.4 
billion.

• 	According to Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation, housing starts during 1999 increased to 2,776, a gain of 13.4% 
and the highest level since 1994.

• 	For 2000, construction activity in New Brunswick is expected to remain strong, as work continues on the Fredericton to 
Moncton highway, the Irving Oil refinery expansion and natural gas projects.


Manufacturing Shipments Rebound

• 	The value of manufacturing shipments increased 8.6% in New Brunswick during 1999. The value of manufacturing 
shipments rose 9.3% for Canada.

• 	The miscellaneous group , representing over one-quarter of total shipments, grew 17.3% in 1999 due mainly to a 
strengthening of world commodity prices. This represents a reversal from 1998 when weak commodity prices 
contributed to a decline in overall shipments.

• 	Strong growth was also posted in machinery, furniture and fixtures, chemicals, wood products, plastics and food processing.

• 	The manufacturing sector experienced major employment growth in 1999, increasing 7.1% to 39,300.

• 	Work on the $1-billion expansion at the Irving Oil refinery was one-third complete towards the end of 1999. The expansion, 
to be finished in 2001, will enable the refinery to increase production of value-added fuels.

• 	The province’s manufacturing sector should continue to grow in 2000 as initiatives undertaken in 1999 boost output. 
Continued growth in the U.S. economy, the low Canadian dollar, and higher commodity prices will keep export markets 
attractive for manufacturers.


Wood Products Strong

• 	Fueled by strong prices, the value of shipments from the New Brunswick wood products industry rose 14.1% in 1999.

• 	Production of sawn lumber increased 3.0% for the year as output has more than doubled since 1991.

• 	Demand for wood remained strong as U.S. housing starts rose 3.0% in 1999 and overseas markets improved, reducing the 
supply of lumber and leading to higher prices.

• 	Increased production of value-added wood products has led to diversification, making the sector less susceptible to 
fluctuating lumber prices. 

• 	The wood products industry may experience difficult market conditions in 2000 as lumber prices come under some pressure 
due to a gradual reduction in U.S. housing starts.


Recent Improvement for Paper and Allied Products
• 	The paper and allied products industry experienced improving market conditions as prices for most pulp and paper products 
rose steadily during the second half of the year.

• 	The value of New Brunswick shipments from the paper and allied products industry declined slightly in 1999 following an 
increase the previous year.

• 	The recovery in pulp and paper markets is expected to continue in 2000 as world economic growth strengthens and supply 
remains tight in certain segments of the industry.

• 	Pulp prices are expected to steadily increase in 2000 to levels last seen in 1995, and newsprint prices should gradually rise as 
inventories are reduced. Paper prices, coated and uncoated, should see further growth, and prices of corrugated medium 
paper should continue to do well.


Mining Production Mixed

• 	The continued shutdown of one mine and the permanent closure of another caused a 2% drop in the value of production in 
the provincial metals sector. Base metal prices were generally low in 1999, although zinc registered a higher average price.

• 	Production at Brunswick base metal mine held steady in 1999, but was 11% below the peak of 10,500 tonnes per day in 
1996. The mine has about 10 years of reserves at the present rate of extraction.

• 	Following declines in the previous two years with the closure of a potash mine, the value of production in the non-metals 
sector was up 1.6% in 1999. The export value of potash, a major component, rose 30.5%. Peat production increased 10% and 
coal remained constant.

• 	Although exploration activity was down, some encouraging gold and base metal discoveries were made recently and 
construction of the pipeline spurred further interest in oil and natural gas.

• 	For 2000, the value of mining production is expected to benefit from favourable commodity prices.

Utilities Moving Forward

• 	Total electric power generation in the province declined 2.3% in 1999 but was still above the 1997 level.

• 	Westcoast Energy and NB Power are partners in the $180-million conversion of an oil-fired unit to natural gas at Courtenay 
Bay, with completion scheduled for the end of 2000. As well, environmental equipment will be installed at the Dalhousie 
generating plant at a cost of $4 million.

• 	NB Power projects capital expenditures of approximately $100 million for 2000-01. Future business initiatives will take 
advantage of the availability of natural gas and result in the redevelopment of older infrastructure.

• 	Enbridge Gas New Brunswick was chosen to develop a natural gas distribution system for the province. It is planning gas 
service to the three largest cities plus St. George and Chipman in late 2000.


Technology and Communication Sectors Strong
• 	Net gains in employment for technology and communication demonstrated strong growth of almost 4,000 jobs in 1999.

• 	By the end of 1999 there were more than 80 customer contact centres in New Brunswick employing about 10,000 people. 
Future growth potential continues with several companies planning large expansions or new investment in 2000.

• 	The information technology sector also experienced growth with the addition of more than 20 new companies and 
approximately 1,000 jobs.

• 	NBTel launched VibeVision in Moncton, an interactive information and entertainment television service. It will be in Saint 
John by mid-2000. Shaw Communications announced digital television service to Moncton and Saint John with expansion to 
four other centres in the spring.


Transportation Positive Overall

• 	Overall shipments at the port of Saint John during 1999 were up 3.0%, a significant improvement compared to 1998.

• 	In 1999, 30 cruise ships with 38,000 passengers landed in Saint John. Currently, there are 85 cruise ships carrying over 
123,000 passengers confirmed for 2000.

• 	The natural gas pipeline through southern New Brunswick was completed in 1999, and service to the Boston area started in 
January 2000.

• 	Maritimes and Northeast will begin construction of the $93-million Saint John natural gas lateral in May 2000, with gas 
flowing into the region by the end of the year.

• 	With the closure of InterCanadian in late 1999, airports in Miramichi and Charlo were left without commercial air service. 
Revenues at the province’s larger airports will also be affected by the closure. Efforts are being made to attract alternate 
carriers such as WestJet Airlines and Air Creebec to New Brunswick.


Record Tourism Revenue

• 	New Brunswick had another record-breaking tourism season in 1999, exceeding previous records for revenue, visitation, 
occupancy and room sales.

• 	In 1999, revenues were $920 million, an 8% increase from the previous year with visitation rising 1% to over 1.46 million. 
The largest gains in visitors were from Ontario and the U.S. The peak season occupancy rate reached an all-time high of 
83%.

• 	Receipts for restaurants, caterers and taverns increased 10.6% in 1999, compared to 3.3% the previous year. This was above 
the national increase of 4.3%.

Farm Cash Receipts Growing

• 	Farm cash receipts in New Brunswick increased 9.0% in 1999 while national receipts rose 2.2%.

• 	Receipts from crops grew 16.2% largely due to potatoes (even with acreage declining slightly), the rapidly growing 
blueberry industry and the development of a large new greenhouse operation.

• 	Receipts from the livestock and products sector rose 2.9%. Increases in beef, hogs and dairy products were offset by declines 
in poultry and eggs.

• 	New markets opened for seed potatoes to Cuba and Southeast Asia, dairy cattle to Puerto Rico and Mexico, bakery goods to 
the New England states, and compost to the U.S.

• 	New Brunswick farm cash receipts are projected to show a slight increase in 2000.

Fish and Seafood Exports Impressive

• 	Fish and seafood exports reached $710 million in 1999, a 21.7% increase. New Brunswick exports to the United States were 
valued at $561 million, an increase of 24.9%.

• 	The commercial fisheries industry experienced an increase in landings in 1999. Landings were higher for snow crab and 
herring, about the same for lobster in the Gulf of St. Lawrence, and down for lobster in the Bay of Fundy. Higher prices for 
lobster compensated for the poorer showing in landings.

• 	The production of farmed Atlantic salmon in 1999 was estimated at $150 million. The program to deal with the Infectious 
Salmon Anemia (ISA) virus has started to achieve its objectives. At the same time, strong competition from other countries 
is still affecting the market price, increasing 5% after dropping in 1998.

• 	For 2000, diversification efforts will continue through the development of new value-added products, expansion into new 
markets, and arrangement of raw material procurement networks to extend processing activity.
