NEW YORK, April 19, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- C-Suite Spotlight is pleased to announce The Top 25 Executives of Vancouver for 2023. Vancouver, British Columbia is one of the world's most livable cities, with a flourishing economy and a celebrated quality of life. Canada's fastest-growing economy, Vancouver's GDP was CA$137 billion in 2017 according to the Conference Board of Canada, reflecting a GDP growth rate of 4.5%. Drivers of economic growth include technology, film and TV, trade, tourism, construction, and entertainment.
Canada's gateway to the Pacific Rim, Vancouver is the country's biggest port, and it benefits from excellent access via highway, rail, and air. One of North America's fastest-growing low-carbon economies, green initiatives and climate action are at the forefront of policy decisions in this city that is a model for sustainable green growth. Despite layoffs in the local tech industry, total employment remains strong, according to the spring 2023 Vancouver Economy Report. Vancouver's unemployment rate has been the lowest of Canada's four largest cities for most of 2021 and 2022.
Foreign direct investment (FDI) in Canada in 2021 reached a 15-year high at $75.5 billion. Although the city's FDI numbers are not available, Vancouver's share is significant. Vancouver has the tightest major downtown office market in North America. According to CBRE, of the nearly two million square feet of downtown Vancouver office space under construction, 95.4% is pre-leased.
