The Nova Scotia Economy

Nova Scotia has one of the fastest growing economies in Canada with smaller businesses leading the way. In fact, small business makes up 92.2% of the provincial economy.

Four centres in Nova Scotia are ranked among the top 10 in the country. Halifax ranks among the top five when compared to large international centres in North America, Europe and Asia-Pacific. This, along with a very competitive tax structure, and a workforce that includes 15,000 post-secondary graduates every year, makes us a very good place to build, or start, a business.
