Economic Reports

 

State of the Economy Report - December 2009
The Calgary Economic Development (CED) State of the Economy Report for the second half of 2009 shows that Calgary has seen a definite impact as a result of the recession - whether it be in labour markets or real estate markets. However, the data shows that while some indicators are in recession territory, their magnitude and positions have improved over the course of the year. The first half of 2009 showed extreme volatility and variability in key measures - labour markets, stock markets and commodity prices. The second half of 2009 seems to have found some greater stability.
