Province of Alberta Budget 2021 - Still Riding Out the Storm

The Province of Alberta (Alberta or the Province; rated AA (low) with a Negative trend by DBRS Morningstar) released its 2021 budget on February 25, 2021. This is the United Conservative Party (UCP) government's third budget, but first since the onset of the Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19) pandemic in March 2020. The budget is focused on the UCP government's efforts to combat the pandemic and lay the groundwork for the economic recovery, and reiterate fiscal anchors, but falls short of articulating a plan to return to balance.
