The region’s GDP was an estimated $192 billion in 2018, 13.3% of which was generated by the manufacturing sector. Manufacturing is also a major employer in the region, accounting for 11% of the total labour force. The region has a positive economic outlook, with annual GDP growth of at least 2.0% projected through 2029. However, the region’s manufacturing sector is expected to see its GDP growth slow in the coming years.
