Nova Scotia's business climate ranks 6th in Canada

This is the fourth edition of Nova Scotia's Business Climate Index. This report monitors and compares Nova Scotia's business-climate ranking nationally and in Atlantic Canada using comparable measures. It assesses general business climate across 53 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 report builds on the Index from last year and uses additional resources identified from feedback from the federal/provincial business-climate working group and stakeholders.

Many indicators were revised to reflect changes in Statistics Canada data sources and to use more up-to-date information.
