Economic Growth

The forecast for growth in the gross domestic product is anticipated to be in the order of 5.0 per cent in 2007. In the near-term, continued job growth and wage gains will support the expansion in the consumer sector. Also, low vacancy rates in the real estate market along with employment and population growth will stimulate investment activities in the non-residential and residential sectors. The forecast assumes that energy prices will remain at elevated levels in the near term. High energy prices should support the energy industry's cash flow and lead to further investment activities in the energy sector. The significant presence of the energy industry in the Calgary region will result in the region enjoying spin-off benefits from the investments occurring in the province's heavy oil sector. In addition, the provincial government is in excellent financial health and is expected to continue to spend on infrastructure and other priority areas in the local economy. These actions will add to the level of economic activity. On the whole, all sectors of the economy are expected to contribute to the rate of economic expansion.

In the medium-term, the economy's growth rate is expected to moderate. Specifically, slower growth in the labour force should constrain future expansion. Also, the construction cycle in the oil sands is expected to peak around 2009 and this should cause the provincial and regional economies to grow at a slower pace from 2010.

Initial projections in 2006 by the City of Calgary's Department of Land Use Planning & Policy predicted the population to climb from 991,759 in 2006, to 1,223,000 by 2016. Calgary's population had already surpassed the one million person mark in July 2006. Influenced by a vibrant labour market and low unemployment rates, this growth in population can be attributed for the most part to Calgary's net migration. As the majority of migrants who arrive in the city are in the child bearing age group, net migration will result in the renewing of the population. In addition, the fertility rate is expected to remain positive, thereby naturally increasing the City's population.

Due to the increased demand for housing, Calgary's residential real estate market is experiencing escalating house prices and higher rental rates. Total housing starts in the third quarter of 2006 displayed an increase to 4,010 units, up from 3,982 units compared to the same time last year. The average resale house price has increased by 47.1 % from $247,828 to $364,479, again from the same time last year. The number of properties listed for sale reached 12,264 properties, slightly up from the 12,060 units listed in the second quarter of 2005.

Forecasts have estimated that the City of Calgary will require approximately 90,000 new jobs over the next five years and 158,000 in the next 10 years -the highest of any economic region in Canada. Calgary's total employment grew from 661,700 in the third quarter of 2005, to 710,700 in the third quarter of 2006. Characterized by low unemployment and a competitive labour market, growth in Calgary's wages are anticipated to outpace the inflation rate. Coupled with net migration, wage and employment growth should benefit retail sales and other types of spending.
