B.C. to Enjoy Faster Growth and Falling Jobless Rate in Coming Years, Says Central 1 Credit Union Forecast
Slow Population Growth Will Restrain Consumer and Residential Spending
(firmenpresse) - VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA -- (Marketwire) -- 09/06/12 -- B.C.'s economic picture will improve slightly this year and next, before shifting to above average growth rates in 2014-2016, says a new forecast by Central 1 Credit Union.
According to Central 1's chief economist Helmut Pastrick, the provincial economy will grow about 1.7 per cent this year, down from 2.6 per cent in 2011.
"B.C. will grow about 2.2 per cent in 2013, then gain momentum to 3.5 per cent in 2016 as the U.S. starts to recover," Pastrick said.
"The biggest risk to this continuing recovery is another recession, but I think that is a low probability," Pastrick said. "I also think we will continue to muddle through the euro crisis with a series of patchwork measures."
