Supporting economic growth in Ontario.

The Ontario Economic Report (OER) is the landmark research platform of the OCC. The report traditionally highlights the year that was and the year ahead, offering a unique perspective on the experience of businesses of all sizes across the province. The OER is a data-driven, evidenced-based document rooted in the OCC’s annual survey of its members, the Business Confidence Survey (BCS). The BCS illuminates trends in economic activity and provides a grassroots perspective of how Ontario businesses feel about the economic outlook of the province and their organizations.

Each year the Ontario Economic Report (OER) presents the collective voice of our membership through the Business Confidence Survey, the Business Prosperity Index and the Economic Outlook. The report provides a snapshot of the past year and a look at the year ahead.

OER 2021 Results - Round 1

The OCC regularly surveys its members in order to understand what’s top of mind for Ontario businesses. This data provides a grassroots look at the economy and can reveal developing trends in business activity.

New research shows that businesses are gaining confidence in Ontario’s economic outlook as well as gaining confidence in themselves. Despite a more optimistic outlook for 2019, decreasing levels of organizational and economic confidence over the years have impacted business’ willingness to invest, take risks, and adopt technological advancements.

Read the Business Confidence Survey.

OER 2021 Results - Round 2

Exclusive to the Ontario Economic Report, the OCC in partnership with the Canadian Centre for Economic Analysis (CANCEA), presents the Business Prosperity Index (BPI), an original measure of the ability of Ontario’s businesses to invest in the future. The BPI looks beyond the GDP and instead considers the process of wealth generation from business production and investment activities. This version includes the most up-to-date data from 2000 to 2018.

The BPI suggests that while the overall level of prosperity is high, continued investment in both the public and private sector are required to support long-term economic growth.
