Summary

The Canadian construction industry demonstrated growth of 5.8% in 2010. This is in contrast to the 8.6% decline recorded in 2009. During the forecast period, the Canadian construction industry is expected to stabilize as a result of a large government stimulus package which is aimed to increase infrastructure spending, create jobs and increase the availability of credit. During the same period, private-sector spending on construction is also anticipated to improve. Both these factors are expected to have a direct and indirect impact on the construction industry, with the creation of jobs and access to credit expected to increase the housing construction and infrastructure construction markets.
