Growth in non-residential capital spending to continue in 2023
Businesses and governments are expected to invest $319.9 billion in non-residential construction and machinery and equipment in 2023, says Statistics Canada. That anticipated level of spending is 4.3 per cent higher than the preliminary 2022 results and follows two years of double-digit annual growth. Last year showed growth of almost 12 per cent, while a 10 per cent rise was posted in 2021. Although the public sector accounted for over half of the $32.1 billion increase in 2022, Canada’s statistical agency expects the private sector to be the main source of growth in 2023, anticipating a 5.2 per cent private sector increase to go along with a slowing of public sector growth to around 2.7 per cent in 2023.
