BC Monthly Real GDP Estimate for January 2021 & Preliminary Estimate for February 2021 (Updated: March 31, 2021)
The BCREA Nowcast estimate of provincial economic growth (expressed as year-over-year growth in real GDP) for January 2021 is 1.4 percent. We have also included a preliminary estimate for February 2021 of 2 percent.
