Alberta economy will slow down for the next few years

Experts are predicting that there will be a softening of the economy in Calgary and throughout Alberta next year and for a few years after.

ATB Financial’s chief economist Todd Hirsch said that he sees nothing on the horizon that would be a ‘bust’ but the economy would “pullback” maybe by half of one percentage point.

That would mean growth in the region of 2.5 to 3.0 per cent.
