British Columbia Provincial Debt Forecasts and Ratios, 2006-2016

Two tables present British Columbia's provincial debt information for a 10-year period from 2006/07 through 2015/16. Table A17 includes taxpayer-supported and self-supported debt, forecast allowance, and total provincial debt, with actual, forecast, and planned values. Table A18 provides supplementary debt metrics like percent of nominal GDP, growth rates, and per capita debt ratios.
