Released on May 15, 2023

The latest numbers from Statistics Canada show the value of wholesale trade, a key indicator of strength in the province's economy, has increased 59.6 per cent in March 2023 compared to March 2022. This is the second highest percentage change among the provinces. 

The total value of wholesale trade was $5.4 billion in March 2023. 

"We are seeing once again that Saskatchewan has the food, fuel and fertilizer that the growing world needs," Trade and Export Development Minister Jeremy Harrison said. "These are key components of a healthy and robust economy, and translate to more jobs, opportunity and growth that works for everyone."

Since the beginning of the year, Saskatchewan has shown healthy economic growth. Provincial exports to the United States exceeded $29.3 billion in 2022, an all-time high.
