BIV tech panel

On BIV Today...

B.C.’s economy is poised to contract over the next two years. A lot. 
RBC deputy chief economist Dawn Desjardins walks us through the bank’s latest economic forecast for the province and explains why tight supply and population growth may not be enough to keep the real estate industry chugging along at the same pace it has in recent years.

Later, the BIV tech panel discusses the disappointing results from Google’s latest diversity report as well as efforts for the American Internet giant to compete with Alibaba in Asia. The panel also takes a look at warnings from American lawmakers to Canada that Chinese tech giant Huawei may pose a threat to national security.
