British Columbia Provincial Debt Forecasts and Ratios, 2006-2016

British Columbia's provincial debt information for the decade from 2006/07 through 2015/16. The dataset includes two tables: A17 with taxpayer-supported, self-supported, and total debt, and A18 with supplementary metrics like debt-to-GDP and per capita ratios. It was published by the Government of British Columbia as part of the 2013 Budget June Update.

Use Cases

• Forecast provincial debt trajectories based on planned and forecast values.
• Analyze debt burden relative to economic output based on percent of nominal GDP.
• Model per capita debt trends using inflation-adjusted and nominal per capita ratios.
• Calculate average annual change in debt metrics based on the provided percentage changes.

Strengths

• Covers a 10-year time range from 2006/07 to 2015/16.
• Includes multiple debt perspectives: taxpayer-supported, self-supported, and total.
• Provides supplementary economic context with GDP and per capita ratios.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Data may reflect temporal bias inherent to a historical forecast document.
