EXECUTIVE SUMMARY In 2010, the Manitoba economy had a relatively successful year. Of 28 economic indicators, Manitoba exceeded the national performance for 14 (50%). Relative growth in 2010 was affected by Manitoba's nation-leading performance in 2009. Over the last two years, Manitoba has outperformed the Canada level for 21 out of the 28 indicators, a 75% rate (see Appendix: Tables 1 and 2, pages 13 and 14). The following are some 2010 performance highlights. Overall Economic Performance: Manitoba economy grew 2.4%, following a 0.1% decrease in 2009. Growth over last two years was 2.2%, the second best increase among provinces. Economic performance was lead by a sharp climb in personal expenditures, up 4.3%. Weakness was concentrated in the Export Sector. Total Exports of Goods and Services decreased by 3.7%, with International Exports of Goods and Services down 6.7% and Interprovincial Exports of Goods and Services down 0.8%. Sectoral growth was concentrated, in Retail Trade (5.3%), Wholesale Trade (4.8%) and Transportation (3.8%). Weakness was confined to Agriculture (-8.0%) and Manufacturing (-1.1%). Labour Productivity grew by 1.2%, third highest provincially and well above Canada's 0.1% growth. Over the last six years, Manitoba has seen the largest increase in labour productivity at 9.3% and more than double the national increase of 4.0%. Population: Manitoba's population grew by 17,400, the largest calendar year gain since at least 1971. A total of 11,800 more people came to Manitoba than left for other jurisdictions. This was the largest twelve-month net inflow since at least 1972. An estimated 16,000 immigrants arrived in Manitoba last year, representing the largest inflow since 1946. Manitoba is getting younger while Canada is getting older. For the second straight year, Manitoba has proportionately less persons 65 and over than Canada. This reverses a longterm trend where Manitoba's senior's population share was considerably larger than Canada's. The decade of the 2000's has seen Manitoba's population grow to close to 96,000 persons. This is more than double the previous ten year period when population grew by less than 43,000. Manitoba Bureau of Statistics 1 January 27, 2011
Labour Market: Employment in 2010 reached an all-time record level of 619,300 persons. Additionally record high levels were recorded for Labour Force and the Participation Rate. Since December 2009, 16,200 additional jobs were added to the economy, while the labour force grew by 13,500. Strong growth occurred in Private Sector jobs (+13,200) and Fulltime jobs (+17,700). Income and Inflation: Personal Income rose 2.5% last year. The last five years have seen a 16.6% increase. On a per capita basis, Personal Income grew by 1.2% to over $29,800 per person. The five-year growth in Personal Income totaled 11.2%. Manitoba consumers experienced the lowest inflation rate in the nation at 0.8%, with Canada at 1.8%. A contributing factor was gasoline prices. The average price per litre throughout last year in Winnipeg was 97.3 cents, the second lowest after Calgary's 93.1 cents. December 2010 Probe Research/Jory Capital/Winnipeg Free Press poll of 1,000 Manitobans had more individuals saying they had a good financial year than having a downturn. Nearly four in ten Manitobans expect to be better off financially in 2011. Housing: Manitoba housing prices rose 10.2% last year to an average sale price of $217,400. The last 10 years have seen housing prices increase by 150%. Vacancy rates for rental properties remain extremely tight, with annual average rates ranging between 1.0% to 1.7% since 2002. Housing starts in urban centres were close to 4,000 units in 2010. This was the highest level in 22 years. Starts were up 42.2% (2,789 to 3,966) over the 2009 level, with single family units increasing by 23.9% (1,874 to 2,321) and multiples increasing by 79.8% (915 to 1,645). The Year Ahead: Over the last number of years, the Manitoba economy has been performing reasonably well relative to that of other provinces. Currently, Private Sector forecasters suggest the Manitoba economy will grow by 2.7% in 2011. This would be the third highest increase among the provinces and above Canada's growth of 2.5%. Manitoba Bureau of Statistics 2 January 27, 2011
Overall Economic Performance The Manitoba Bureau of Statistics (MBS) estimates that the provincial economy grew 2.4% in 2010 following a 0.1% decrease in real terms in 2009. In 2010 the provincial economy generated $42.9 billion of real expenditures (at market prices), a $1.0 billion increase from 2009. After leading the country in 2009, Manitoba s projected real growth of 2.4% for 2010 is below the 2.9% estimated for Canada as a whole by private sector forecasters (January, 2011).

Manitoba s 2010 economic performance was led by a sharp climb in personal expenditures which rose 4.3% in real terms to hit $28.9 billion. Manitoba s real Final Domestic Demand (RFDD) increased 3.5% to $48.5 billion. RFDD differs from real GDP in that it excludes net exports (i.e. exports minus imports) and changes in the value of inventories Manitoba s labour productivity (e.g. output per hours worked) grew by 1.2% in 2010, the second highest rate among the provinces and well above the 0.1% gain for the national level. Since 2004, the province s productivity levels have increased by 9.3%, the highest growth of any province and well above second place Newfoundland and Labrador s 6.4% and Canada s 4.0% respective increases. Sector Performance Looking at individual sector performances in 2010, we note that Manitoba s retail rose a robust 5.3% in real terms after a 1.4% increase in 2009. Manitoba s wholesale sector also exhibited strength in 2010 with a 4.8% increase in real GDP.

This followed a 0.7% rise in 2009. Finance, insurance, real estate and leasing sector s real growth reached 3.3% in 2010 after a 2.1% increase in 2009. On the downside, after unusually wet conditions and a surge in unseeded acres, Manitoba s agriculture sector saw an 8.0% decline in real GDP in 2010. MANUFACTURING SHIPMENTS January to November 2010/2009 Manitoba s manufacturing sector, buffeted by weak export markets and a Canadian currency approaching par with the U.S. dollar, saw a 1.1% decline in real GDP in 2010. This was accompanied by a gradual improvement in the second half of the year but comes on the heels of a 9.2% drop in real GDP in 2009 - at the height of the global recession. Taking a look at 2010 year-to-date manufacturing shipments (up to November), Manitoba experienced a 2.6% decline to rank eighth among the provinces. This follows a 10.7% decline in 2009.

This is the largest calendar year gain since the current system of estimating population began in 1971. Manitoba s remarkable gain of more than 17,000 individuals accelerated our growth rate to 1.42% which is the largest annual percent change since at least 1971. More People Choosing Manitoba as a Place to Live, Work and Grow Net migration to Manitoba is expected to reach 11,800 people in 2010. This is the largest twelve month net inflow since at least 1972 and close to 2,000 more than in 2009 which had the second largest. MBS estimates that Manitoba will have welcomed approximately 16,000 immigrants in 2010. This is the largest number of immigrants to arrive in Manitoba since 1946 and far beyond the 13,520 newcomers in 2009. The Provincial Nominee Program continues to drive immigration contributing more than threequarters of all immigrants. 20 15 10 5 0-5 Thousands ANNUAL NET MIGRATION Manitoba, 1980 to 2010-10 1980 1983 1986 1989 1992 1995 1998 2001 2004 2007 2010 Source: Manitoba Bureau of Statistics and Statistics Canada MBS expects Manitoba to record a net loss of 2,400 persons to the other provinces and territories in 2010. This is similar to the net outflow reported for 2009. Births are continuing their upward trend from 2004 and are expected to surpass 16,000 in 2010, leading to a natural increase (births minus deaths) of 5,600 persons in 2010. 1 Based on the Statistics Canada quarterly estimates to the third quarter of 2010 and the MBS estimate for the fourth quarter of 2010.

A Younger Manitoba in 2010 Not only is Manitoba observing record breaking population growth but we re not as old as we used to be. The median age of Manitobans is decreasing. As of July 1, 2010, the median age in Manitoba was 37.7 years, down slightly from one year ago. At the national level the median age grew from 39.5 to 39.7 in 2010, a full two years older than Manitoba s. As of July 1, 2010, 13.8% of all Manitobans were aged 65 or over. This is 0.3 percentage points lower than the national share 14.1%. The previous year was the first time since modern day record keeping began in 1971 that this occurred, and 2010 continues this trend. 15 14 13 12 11 Percent POPUPATION AGED 65 AND OVER Percent Share of Total Manitoba and Canada, 1980 to 2010 2010 Caps off a Decade s Worth of Strong Population Growth Since 2001, our population has increased by 95,700 persons, more than double the increase of the previous ten year period when it grew by 42,300. 10 Migration is the main driver of 9 1980 1983 1986 1989 1992 1995 1998 2001 2004 2007 2010 Manitoba s remarkable growth.

Labour Market The Manitoba Labour Market sets a Record Breaking Year in 2010 Employment in Manitoba averaged 619,300 persons in 2010, the highest level ever recorded and a 2.0% hike over 2009. Similarly, the labour force was also at an all-time high averaging 654,100 individuals in 2010, a full 2.2% higher than the 2009 level of 640,200. As a result, the average participation rate in Manitoba was 69.9% in 2010 which also broke the record for highest ever since at least 1976.

Manitoba Outpaces Canada and most other provinces Since December 2009, Manitoba has grown at a much faster pace than Canada with respect to the labour force, total jobs, private sector employment and full-time jobs. Compared to the other provinces, Manitoba performed very well; 2 nd, 3 rd, 1 st, and 2 nd respectively. Factoring in the lowest total unemployment rate and the third lowest youth unemployment rate Manitoba s labour market ended 2010 as one of the strongest in the country.

Manitoba s Labour Market holds Steady during the Economic Downturn Similarly, since the global economic downturn began back in October 2008, Manitoba has had one the strongest labour markets in Canada. If we compare December 2010 with October 2008, our employment growth of 2.0% far outweighs Canada's increase of 0.3% and is the second best performance of any province.

Housing With solid GDP and income growth underpinned by the largest population increases in four decades, demand for housing in Manitoba has taken off. Manitoba house prices*, for example, have seen a 150 % rise in the last ten years from an average sales price of $87,200 in 2000 to $217,400 in 2010.

In the Winnipeg rental market, for example, annual vacancy rates have averaged between 1.0% and 1.7% since 2002, with 2010 estimated at 1.2%. For 2011, this is projected to ease marginally to 1.4%. In response to supportive market conditions, including of late record low interest rates, new home construction has accelerated both on the single family dwelling side, and even more notably, with the building of large numbers of multi-family units. The latter includes apartments, condos and row houses. To illustrate, housing starts in Manitoba urban centres (i.e. population 10,000+) hit 3,966 units in 2010, the highest total in twenty-two years (1988) and more than two and a half times the 1,499 starts recorded in 2000.
