1 Alberta s Economic Prospects and Regional Impacts Presentation to PREDA REDA January 28, 2011
2 Is World Economy s Recovery Sustainable? Uneven global recovery, with widespread financial and fiscal turbulence Weak recovery in Europe: ongoing financial risks due to Greek and Irish crises; German economy doing very well Modest recovery in North America; new round of quantitative easing in US improves US outlook Sharp recovery in emerging markets, led by China, India and Brazil (but some risk for China) Very high government debt: Japan, Ireland, Italy, US, UK Removal of fiscal and monetary stimulus needs to be done carefully Very weak labour and housing markets in US
3 Canada in Better Shape than US? Canada s recovery is built on strength of domestic economy, but stronger revival in US employment is key to maintaining momentum in 2011 Economic growth was weaker than expected in 2 nd half Budding core inflation, higher energy prices and rising sales taxes have prompted BoC to start lifting rates High commodity prices will keep Loonie strong Real GDP growth of 2.9% in 10; 2.5% in 11 as domestic economy and government spending cools
4 Alberta on the Rebound Alberta is now out of recession: high energy prices; global recovery; surging oil investment Alberta s GDP fell by 4.5% in 2009: falling investment and exports; large 20%+ declines for manufacturing, agriculture, construction Strong employment gains in 2 nd half 10 Consensus forecast: Alberta GDP rose 3.2% in 10 Until 2008 the economy was growing at rates well beyond its capacity Current slowdown is easing pressures on housing and infrastructure and reduces inflation
5 Current Alberta Indicators Building permits up 3.5% in 10 Housing starts up 36% in 10 MLS sales down 10% Retail sales up 5.1%; car sales up 9.7% Oil production up 6.1%; gas production down 5.7% Consumer bankruptcies down 20% Manufacturing sales up 10% Farm cash receipts down 7.1% Exports up 12% (high oil prices)

8 Industry Sector Prospects Rising value of the Canadian dollar may limit export growth to the US, but US outlook has improved Oil prices are relatively higher than natural gas prices; long-run oil prices driven by growth in China and India US shale gas means gas prices will stay low, but domestic demand for gas is on the rise (oilsands/power) High oil prices should stimulate investment in 2011 Agriculture prices have rebounded: growing demand in Asia and biofuels; COOL impacting livestock/meat Forestry prices are recovering, except for OSB prices
