A trade association of credit unions says B-C will have solid economic growth over the next 24 months after what it describes as a “stellar” 2017. The latest forecast from Central 1 Credit Union is calling for economic growth of three per cent in the province this year. It says that will slow to just over two per cent next year but will rebound to 3.3 per cent in 2020. Deputy chief economist Bryan Yu says the economy is being bolstered by high employment and income growth, rising exports and government spending — but he warns the economy faces possible risks from factors including disputes over renewal of the North American Free Trade Agreement.
