Bryan Yu, AVP and Chief Economist of Central 1 in BC is coming to Kelowna to explore how the new provincial government will put its stamp on the economy for 2027. There are lots of questions: labour, the deficit, the proposed cancellation of the expansion of the PST, the speculation and vacancy tax – and – how the 2027 provincial economy will interact with the newly announced federal budget being released in Ottawa on November 5. Come hear the most up-to-date info; pose your questions on Slido and get them answered by an expert. Bryan joined Central 1 in 2010 and is now Chief Economist, leading a team focused on macroeconomic and regional analysis for Central 1 and clients across the financial sector.

Within Central 1, Bryan contributes to risk and treasury committees and leads Central 1’s IFRS9 National Platform business. Prior to Central 1, he held economist roles with the BC Real Estate Association, CMHC, and in academic research.
