由于收入损失和债务增加,不列颠哥伦比亚省在2025-26年面临创纪录的116亿美元的赤字。 British Columbia faces a record $11.6 billion deficit in 2025-26 due to lost revenue and rising debt.

不列颠哥伦比亚省预计2025-26年的赤字为116亿美元,创历史新高,原因是取消消费碳税、降低财产转让和销售税、自然资源收入以及联邦供资延迟,导致收入减少。 British Columbia's projected deficit for 2025-26 is $11.6 billion, a record high, driven by reduced revenues from the elimination of the consumer carbon tax, lower property transfer and sales taxes, natural resource income, and delayed federal funding. 该省今年的债务预计将超过1 550亿美元,到2027-28年将增至近2 130亿美元。 The province’s debt is expected to exceed $155 billion this year, rising to nearly $213 billion by 2027-28. 一项27亿美元的烟草诉讼解决提高了今年的收入,而政府则坚持将实现三年支出目标,节省3亿多美元。 A $2.7 billion tobacco lawsuit settlement boosted this year’s revenue, while the government maintains it is on track to meet its three-year spending targets with over $300 million in savings.
