BC Check-Up

BC Check-Up Invest

The 2025 BC Check-Up: Invest report highlights investment trends across BC and in each of the province’s seven economic development regions. BC faces a challenging business climate after the United States imposed or threatened to impose tariffs on most Canadian goods. The report finds that 2024 was a transitional year for the BC economy, as moderating inflation allowed the Bank of Canada to lower interest rates and engage in less restrictive monetary policy. Still, the province enters this trade war after experiencing a down year; real GDP per capita fell in 2024 and global trade uncertainty threatens a rebound in 2025.
