The 2025 Welch LLP Business Growth Survey provides insights into Ottawa's economy, business confidence and emerging trends.
This year, in the midst of mounting uncertainty around Canada’s relationship with the U.S. and related economic impacts, we asked Ottawa businesses about what they view as policy priorities for the new federal government. From real estate to tech and small business to the civil service, we heard from hundreds of local businesses about what’s top of mind for them.
As it does every year, the report also details the results of the annual Business Confidence Index, which has been tracked since 2015.
Learn everything you need to know about how our economy is faring and how the private and public sectors can work together to move forward in uncertain times.
The Welch LLP Ottawa Business Growth Survey is produced in partnership between the Ottawa Business Journal, the Ottawa Board of Trade, Welch LLP and Abacus Data
