Focus Areas

A thriving private sector economy is vital to the economic and social prosperity of all individuals and families in British Columbia. An attractive investment climate provides opportunities for sustainable growth across the province’s diverse economy with strengths in natural resources, exports, retail, tourism, transportation, film, TV and the creative sectors, manufacturing and professional services.

As trusted economists and policy advisors, the Council provides sound, evidence-based analysis and policy recommendations on behalf of members to governments and stakeholders. Through diligent tracking of B.C.’s economic performance, we help identify the opportunities and challenges the province must navigate to reach its full potential. Our work in this area examines competitiveness, trade, infrastructure, innovation and productivity.
