4 212 In Review Introduction The economic fortunes of Saskatchewan are influenced by the state of the global economy and commodity prices. In 21, the global economy bounced back after the financial crisis, but growth has been moderating ever since. The continuing slowdown has been caused by significant austerity across most of the developed world. However, even under these challenging circumstances, economic growth in emerging markets, like China, remained robust and continued to support commodity prices. Global economic growth The United States, Saskatchewan s largest trading partner, grew by 2.2 per cent in 212, up from 1.8 per cent in 211. In contrast, Canadian economic growth slowed to 1.8 per cent last year from 2.6 per cent in 211. China and the European Union, two important markets for Saskatchewan, also lost some momentum in 212. The European Union, wracked by fiscal and monetary problems, slipped into recession. China s growth slowed to 7.8 per cent in 212, historically low for China, but remains one of the fastest growing economies in the world. Per Cent Growth Real GDP Growth Rates China United States Source: IMF, World Economic Outlook Data Set European Union Canada Oil & natural gas The price for WTI crude oil averaged $94.2/barrel in 212, about the same as the 211 average of $95.11/barrel. 3,218 oil and natural gas wells were drilled in 212, 32 less than in 211. The methods of reporting and recording activity in the oil and gas industry in Saskatchewan underwent a complete overhaul in 212; this has caused delays in reporting production, sales, and prices. Also the new methodologies produce data which are not necessarily comparable to the data produced under the old system. At the time of publishing we are unable to provide robust hydrocarbon statistics for the year 212. Potash The average price of a tonne of potash in 212 was $721.3/tonne, up from $684.69/tonne in 211. Potash production in 212 was 8.28 million tonnes, down from million tonnes in 211, a record setting year. Potash is Saskatchewan s second largest mineral export with $6. billion in sales in 212, down from $6.8 billion in 211. Saskatchewan sells the majority of its potash to the United States, but Brazil, Indonesia and China are becoming increasingly important markets. Uranium Saskatchewan has historically been the world s largest uranium producer, but was surpassed by Kazakhstan in 29. However, Saskatchewan continues to be a major player in the global uranium market and uranium mining continues to be a significant component of the provincial economy. Uranium is Saskatchewan s third largest mineral export after oil and potash. However, because of the limited number of producers operating in the province, values and quantities of production are kept confidential. 3

5 Agriculture In 212, a total of 34,55, acres were seeded, significantly above the 1-year average of 32,61, acres. Seeded acres rebounded after severe flooding in 21 and 211 made seeding in some areas impossible. In 212, there were 13,95, acres sown to wheat, an increase of 1,95, acres compared to 211. For the past two years, acres sown to wheat have increased after reaching a modern day low in 21 of 1,33, acres. Canola has continued to grow in importance to Saskatchewan s agricultural sector. Canola was sown in 11,22, acres in 212, a record year, and an increase of 1,32, acres over the previous record-setting year of 211. Millions of Acres Sown Net farm cash income from operations hit an all-time high in 212 of $4.258 billion, surpassing the previous record of $4.28 billion in 211. Canola was the primary driver of the record-setting year by having both record high prices $546/tonne and near-record production of million tonnes. Employment & income Acres Sown Wheat Canola Saskatchewan added 11,2 new jobs in 212. Of these new jobs 1,4 were full time jobs. Unemployment in Saskatchewan averaged 4.7 per cent in 212,.3 per cent lower than the 211 average of 5. per cent. Average weekly earnings in Saskatchewan went up 4.7 per cent in 212, and in the past five years have increased 17.1 per cent. In 212, the mining, quarrying, oil and gas sector continued to offer the highest average hourly wages in the province at $4.18/hour. Thousands of Jobs Investment New capital investment hit an all-time high in 212 of $2.889 billion surpassing the record-setting year of 211 by $1.283 billion. Investment was led by the mining oil and gas industry at $8.262 billion, followed by housing at $3.618 billion. Population There were 15,35 births in Saskatchewan in 212 and 9,363 deaths resulting in a natural population increase of 5,672. Additionally, in 212, there were 16,18 more people that moved to Saskatchewan than left, of which 13,371 were from other countries and 2,647 were from other provinces. Combined natural increase and net immigration have resulted in a total population increase of 21,69 over the year. At the end of 212, the population of Saskatchewan reached an estimated record high of 1,89,87.

6 Housing Saskatchewan s rising population and incomes have been fueling a residential construction boom. In 26, residential building permits totaled $493 million. By 212, the value of residential building permits rose to a record high of $1.823 billion, an increase of 37 per cent. The number of housing starts in Saskatchewan peaked in 1976 at 13,143, after that housing starts declined to a low of 998 in In 212, there were 9,968 housing starts, ten times more than 21 years ago and up from 7,31 in 211. Retail trade Retail trade hit an all-time record high in 212 of $17.33 billion, an increase of $1.96 billion over the record-setting year of 211. Saskatchewan for the first time ever had more retail sales than did Manitoba, which in 212 was $16,67 billion. Utilities Rapid economic growth has been driving increases in Saskatchewan s electricity consumption. Saskatchewan consumed 22,129 GWh in 212, a new record, surpassing the previous record set in 211 of 21,611 GWh. For several years prior to 28, Saskatchewan was a net exporter of electricity, but for the past 5 years Saskatchewan has been a net importer of electricity. In 212, Saskatchewan had net electricity imports of 196 GWh, most of which came from Manitoba. Most of the increase in electricity demand was met by increasing use of natural gas turbines. Natural gas powered supply increased from 4,32 GWh in 211 to 4,968 GWh in 212. In 211, Sasktel launched its fiber to the premises program which aims to provide a fiber optic connection to each house in Saskatchewan s major cities by 217. In 212, Sasktel began the process of building a LTE wireless network which uses the spectrum previously used by analogue TV signals to provide wireless data connections. Conclusion Saskatchewan has what the world wants, mainly energy, food and potash. Increasing global demand for Saskatchewan s exports is fueling economic growth and is creating new jobs. People from all over the world are moving to Saskatchewan because of its low unemployment and a growing jobs market. The influx of people is driving the construction and trade sectors creating a broad-based virtuous cycle. 5
