This quarterly economic forecast for the province of Saskatchewan examines the economic outlook for the province, including gross domestic product (GDP), output by industry and labour market conditions.
Document Highlights
- Real GDP growth will be weak in 2018, largely because of the major downturn in the uranium sector.
- Economic conditions are forecast to improve, but declining business investment will hold down average real GDP growth to 1.6 per cent per year from 2019 to 2021.
- Insufficient transportation capacity will limit the growth of the oil and gas sector and, therefore, of government coffers.
- The potash industry is well-positioned to meet future demand with several large mines in various stages of development.
