2009 In Review GDP in 2009 The chart below presents a graphical breakdown of the preliminary real gross domestic product (GDP) at basic prices by broad industry sectors for. The level of real GDP generated in 2009 by that sector is included after the name of each sector. (Please note that trade refers to both retail and wholesale trade.) glance at this chart demonstrates that while the dollar value of potash exports from this province did fall between 2008 and 2009, many other categories of exported goods and services also saw declines. An important fact with respect to potash is that India imported more of this commodity in dollar terms than China from for the first time in 2008; and this pattern continued in 2009. Finally, while 2009 brought this province lower export revenues than did 2008; the total export sales for all goods in 2009 still exceed those of 2007. The continuing fallout from the global economic crisis finally impacted Canada in 2009. The Canadian economy actually shrank by 2.5 per cent. was forced to cope with a 6.3 per cent decrease in real GDP; while Alberta's GDP fell by 5. per cent and Newfoundland and Labrador's dropped by 0. per cent. Ontario, being the only province with a declining real GDP in 2008 (0.3 per cent), saw a further decline of 3. per cent in 2009. The Role of Potash Exports in 2009 Based on the average of the Statistics Canada numbers for the years 2005-2009, the top five export markets by dollar value for potash for this period (in order): the United States, China, India, Indonesia, and Brazil. These countries are indicated by the grey area in the graph below. The red band represents all other international potash markets; while the green area indicates exports of all other goods. Even only a quick Employment in : Consolidation of Gains, Leading Western Canada 2008 was a record-breaking year for total employment in ; and 2009 set another milestone in this regard. There were 520,600 individuals working in this province during 2009. 's unemployment rate of 4.8 per cent was the lowest in Canada. The graph below provides further insights into the differences experienced in 2009 particularly between and the two provinces to its west. There are two bars included for each western Canadian province as well as for Canada as a whole. The first provides the year-overyear (2009 compared to 2008) percentage growth of total employment; while the second presents the percentage growth of full-time employment for the same time period. 3

performs better than both the other western provinces and Canada as a whole with respect to both variables. While this province enjoyed only modest growth of full-time employment; this province still fared much better in this regard than either Alberta or British Columbia. population in the other direction (from Alberta). Perhaps one of the most compelling stories about the changes in 's population during the previous ten years is the rapid increase in the number of international immigrants. The following chart presents the level of net international migration to for the period 2000 to 2009. The number of net international immigrants (8,57) in 2009 was the highest level ever seen since records began in 946. Earnings Continue to Increase The average weekly earnings of paid employees in increased by 2.5 per cent in 2009, which was ahead of the Canada-wide rise of.6 per cent. Organizations that hire physicians, dentists, and accountants saw the largest percentage increases in wages. An Ongoing Growth in the Provincial Population The estimated population of reached an all-time high on January, 200, having achieved a level of,038,08 people. This number represents an increase of 5,760 over the January, 2009, estimate of,022,258. This historical achievement is the result of fifteen consecutive quarters of population growth. Preliminary Statistics Canada data suggests that in 2009, 23,459 residents moved to from elsewhere in Canada and 20,779 people left for other provinces or territories. Therefore, net interprovincial migration to in 2009 was 2,680. Alberta was both the source of most interprovincial migrants coming to (0,86) and the most popular in-canada destination of individuals leaving this province (0,640). While there was a net loss of population to Alberta in the first three months of 2009, the remainder of the year demonstrated a net movement of Inflation: Tamer But Not Deflating The annual Consumer Price Index (CPI) increase in in 2009 was.0 per cent. However, in the current (post-2007) international environment of economic uncertainty, a moderate inflation rate may be a sign of economic confidence in this province. British Columbia had no change in its CPI in 2009. The equivalent value in Alberta was negative 0. percent; and both Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island also had CPI decreases of 0.2 percent each. There is a clear risk that an extended period of inflation that is too low can have a negative effect on economic activity. In these circumstances, low prices reflect neither changing consumption patterns nor increased efficiency but a lack of demand by households, companies, or other economic actors. Regina had the highest CPI in 2009 among major provincial Canadian cities with an increase of.7 per cent. Saskatoon was second with an increase of 0.9 per cent; while Calgary was the only Canadian city in 2009 to experience a decrease with a level of negative 0. percent. 4

The chart below presents the monthly path of inflation in through 2008 and 2009. Each data point indicates the year-over-year percentage increase in inflation for the All-items CPI, gasoline, and the construction expenses related to new housing (officially called replacement cost by Statistics Canada). For example, the value for May 2009 indicates the percentage change since May 2008. The All-items CPI seems to remain within a very narrow range over this period, while declining through 2009 in comparison with the equivalent month from 2008. Components of any price index tend to show more variation than the index itself, as demonstrated by the movements both of gasoline and new housing. It is likely that the notable price declines throughout 2009 gave the typical household some relief from the higher prices commanded by these same commodities for much of 2007 and 2008. 5
