Housing still a problem this year
From page 5
but still below the 2-percent
threshold that would trigger a
corporate kicker during the
2011-13 biennium.
On the economic front, Po-
tiowsky warned of risks facing
Oregon, particularly any weak-
ening of the country’s trade
with China, which could affect
Oregon’s exports.
“Housing remains one of the
key risks for this year as the
oversupply still has room to de-
cline,” Potiowsky said. “Oregon
will benefit if business outlooks
improve and our traded indus-
tries find greater demand for
their goods and services.
Stronger growth in consumer
spending will spill over into
Oregon’s businesses, with fur-
ther expansions and hiring.”
