Regina Prosperity Matrix Q1

Regina’s Prosperity Matrix inched up to 56 in Q2 2025 from 55 earlier in the year, signaling cautious economic momentum. The Household Affordability and Retail/
Consumer Indices led the way, highlighting resilient consumer activity despite ongoing inflation and trade pressures. Still, the economy remains in fragile recovery. Rising U.S. tariffs and supply chain risks could stall progress, making it crucial for policymakers to support trade diversification, job creation, and targeted stimulus. Manufacturing vulnerabilities persist, and businesses must stay responsive to shifting consumer and employment trends to sustain growth.
