2008 State of the Economy Report 

As predicted at Calgary Economic Development’s 2008 Outlook lunch, the Calgary economy is slowing down to a healthier pace for the first half of 2008 from the frenetic pace of 2006, and the still hot level of 2007.  The majority of indicators show that the current pace of growth is more sustainable and is therefore creating healthier and less inflationary conditions.  Despite this well functioning slowdown to more sustainable levels, there are two areas to watch: labour force growth and the residential housing market.
