2023-2024 Provincial Pre-Budget Submission

Our economy is going through a transitional phase and businesses are adjusting to new economic realities. Our members are facing a variety of challenges from increasing inflation and labour shortages, to supply chain disruptions and rising interest rates. Despite this, there have been actions, ideas, and outcomes that have resulted in positive change for the business community. The goal of this pre-budget submission is to reiterate the importance of those positive changes alongside recommendations that would provide value to our businesses, improve the lives of Nova Scotians, and increase our province’s economic growth. Focusing on key issue areas, derived from conversations with our members, this submission highlights ways to improve our fiscal position, housing supply, population needs, and economics.
