Dear Friends and Partners,

The talk about the economy is starting to cheer up. But, there isn’t a lot of strong economic data to support it, at least not long-term anyway. We should feel optimistic with the increase in building contracts and public sector industry, but oil & gas is still taking a hiding. ‘Diversification’ is present and needs much time to grow and take root. ‘Cautiously optimistic is a good phrase’ for this summer.

Our next newsletter will be October

Alberta is about to be Canada’s fastest growing economy again

By Greg Quinn & Catarina Saraiva, Bloomberg, July 28th., 2017

"Alberta’s economy is more than just back on its feet, it’s about to run faster than any other region in Canada.

Gross domestic product in the western province will rise by 2.9 percent this year, according to a Bloomberg survey of economists, up from an April estimate of 2.5 percent. That matches forecasts for neighboring British Columbia, and in 2018 Alberta comes out on top with a 2.4 percent expansion that would be tops among Canada’s 10 provinces." JUMP

The Conference Board of Canada forecast in its fiscal snapshot that Alberta’s economy would grow by more than three per cent this year and 2.3 per cent in 2018. But it said economic growth would not reach pre-recession levels."  FOLLOW THIS STORY
