Quebec: the business growth landscape

Business growth prospects for 2014

New research shows that rising optimism in Quebec is feeding into brighter business growth prospects but that bureaucracy is constraining those very same growth plans. The results from Quebec: the business growth landscape reveal that despite the roadblocks, businesses are focused on incentivising productivity improvement and enhancing sales force effectiveness in a bid to boost growth over the next 12 months.

Drawing on data and insight from the Grant Thornton International Business Report (IBR), the Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU) and the International Monetary Fund (IMF), this short report considers the outlook for the economy, including the expectations of 200 business leaders interviewed in Quebec, 400 in Canada (in total), and more than 12,500 globally, over the past 12 months.
