Manitoba will be one of the country’s leaders in economic growth next year, according to the latest forecast from the Royal Bank of Canada.

In its latest provincial outlook report released today, RBC Economics predicts Manitoba will tie British Columbia for the second-strongest real gross domestic product (GDP) growth in 2015, at 2.9 per cent.

It predicts Ontario will lead the charge with growth of 3.1 per cent, while the Canadian economy is expected to expand by 2.7 per cent.

The bank’s 2015 growth projection for Manitoba is up a notch from its September forecast, when it was predicting growth of 2.8 per cent. Its growth projection for this year remains unchanged, at 1.8 per cent.
