Felicia Mutheardy , the City of Edmonton ’s chief corporate economist, says there is a lot of uncertainty in the city's economic outlook.

Last year , Edmonton had a year of strong growth spurred by immigration and a hot housing market.

But the threat of tariffs from the U.S. president-elect Donald Trump could have indeterminate consequences on the economy.

The city's labour market didn't perform as strongly as it did in 2023 due to supply-side forces, she says.

With record housing starts last year , will the city be able to maintain the pace of construction?.
