Building a more competitive business climate
The Nova Scotia Business Climate Index monitors and compares Nova Scotia's business climate nationally and in Atlantic Canada using comparable measures. It assesses general business climate levels across a number of indicators and ranks the province on each of these relative to other provinces in Canada. Data for the index is compiled primarily from Statistics Canada and is based on the most recent year available.This approach was adapted for the province by CanMac Economics Limited.
