The Ontario Chamber Network released the eighth annual Ontario 

Economic Report (OER), providing the latest data on Ontario’s economy and business 

confidence, highlighting the year that was 2023 and the challenges that lie in the year ahead. Findings from the OER informs our advocacy and will help policymakers develop a strategy for the province’s long-term economic recovery and growth.

Businesses across Ottawa are being faced with inflationary pressures, fluctuating consumer spending, and labour challenges, which are hampering their growth and recovery. Our findings underscore the critical need for government to implement targeted and strategic measures to support businesses through policies such as tax reforms, buy local programs, workforce development and affordable housing.
