BCA economists agree with several recent bank forecasts that indicate the provincial economy is now expected to grow by 2.7 per cent this year, up from ~2 per cent anticipated before the war, largely due to higher energy prices,” the BCA said.“Higher oil prices have increased energy sector confidence from a five-year low and could push production beyond recent historic highs, while improving the province’s fiscal picture.”The BCA says those high oil prices, if sustained, could change the province’s fiscal outlook from a projected $9.4-billion deficit into a $6-billion surplus.‘Not without risk’While Alberta’s projected growth is good news, the BCA says exterior forces could change the province’s fortunes.“The situation in the Strait of Hormuz, global oil demand, CUSMA negotiations, and the provincial referendum in October each introduce uncertainty that is largely beyond the province’s control,” the BCA said.Economy now a top concern ahead of environmental protection, new poll saysSeparatists ‘aren’t going to be any better off’: professor on Alberta’s economic, pipeline MOU impactAlberta’s unemployment spikes in April, surpassing national rateAccording to the snapshot, more than half of Albertans (56 per cent) believe the province economy is falling while just 43 per cent of Alberta think their own financial situation is “good.”“In addition, oilpatch employment has not kept pace with production growth, youth unemployment sits at 14.4 per cent driven largely by job losses in retail, and residential construction starts have eased from a 2025 peak of 65,000 to ~47,000 annually,” the BCA said.“At the same time, major project investment is accelerating across Alberta with non-residential construction investment up 22 per cent year-over-year, with 68 per cent of the 532 major projects currently under construction being industrial or commercial. This momentum is expected to last even if energy prices decline.”The BCA’s full report can be found online.","kind":"highlight","is_publish_news":true,"is_publish_highlight":false,"is_publish_live":false,"is_publish_wemedia":null,"editions":null,"column":"","sentiment":"0","news_tag":"","news_rank":0,"isVideo":false,"video":null,"symbols":[],"gpt_button":0,"need_auth":false,"need_login_tip":false,"code":"91000000","status":"200"},"commentList":[],"isCommentEnd":true,"newsSizeData":{"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"favoriteSize":0,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false},"APP":{"userAgent":"Mozilla/5.0 AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko; compatible; ClaudeBot/1.0; +claudebot@anthropic.com)","isDev":false,"isTTM":true,"tenantId":"TBGLOBAL","deviceId":"web-server-community-laohu8-v3","version":"4.42.2","shortVersion":"4.42.2","platform":"web","vendor":"web","appName":"ttm","isIOS":false,"isAndroid":false,"isTiger":false,"isTHS":false,"isWeiXin":false,"isWeiXinMini":false,"isWeiBo":false,"isQQ":false,"isBaiduSwan":false,"isBaiduBox":false,"isDingTalk":false,"isToutiao":false,"isOnePlus":false,"isHuaWei":false,"isXiaomi":false,"isXiaomiWebView":false,"isOppo":false,"isVivo":false,"isSamsung":false,"isMobile":false},"href":"/m/news/2635933739","isCrawlerRequest":true}
