Arizona’s economic growth will remain steady this year and next, helping the state outperform the nation by a slight margin, according to a new forecast.
Robert Kavcic, senior economist at BMO Capital Markets, expects Arizona’s economy to outperform the nation by 0.4 percent when final 2015 results are in, and by the same margin this year and in 2017. The estimates measure changes in Gross Domestic Product for the state and nation.
