2011 In Review

Introduction

The economic fortunes of Saskatchewan are influenced by economic growth around the world and commodity prices. The global economic expansion seen in 2010 slowed in 2011 representing the uncertainties spawned by nagging problems in Europe and the winding down of fiscal stimulus spending in many countries. However, even under these challenging circumstances, economic growth in emerging countries remained robust and continued to support commodity prices.

Global economic growth

The United States, Saskatchewan’s largest trading partner, grew by only 1.6 per cent in 2011, down from 3.1 per cent in 2010. As well, Canadian economic growth slowed to 2.4 per cent last year from 3.1 per cent in 2010.

China and India, two increasingly important markets for Saskatchewan, also lost some momentum in 2011. Even so, both China and India appeared to remain on a more solid footing, posting growth three to five times as much as Canada and the United States.

Oil

Oil is Saskatchewan’s largest commodity with sales totaling $12.4 billion in 2011, up from $10.3 billion in 2010. Nearly 70 per cent of Saskatchewan’s oil is sold to American refiners.

In 2011, the Arab Spring and subsequent military intervention in Libya placed significant supply constraints on oil. The war in Libya, compounded by instability throughout the Middle East, pushed the 2011 average price of Saskatchewan crude to $488.86/m3, above its 10 year average of $315.14/m3.

The consistently high price of oil inspired accelerated drilling activities within the province. In 2011, there were 3,578 oil and gas wells drilled to a total distance of 5,727 kilometers, a new distance record, up from 2010, in which 2,881 oil and gas wells were drilled to a total distance of 4,859 kilometers. Increased activity in the oil patch boosted Saskatchewan’s oil production to 25,070 thousand cubic meters, the second highest ever, surpassed only by 2008 at which time 25,581 thousand cubic meters were produced.

Potash

Saskatchewan is the world’s largest potash producer, having produced 10,378 thousand tonnes in 2011, a new record beating the old record set in 2007 by 36 thousand tonnes. Potash is Saskatchewan’s second largest mineral export with $6.9 billion in sales in 2011, up from $5.6 billion in 2010.

Saskatchewan sells the majority of its potash to the United States, but China, India, Brazil and Indonesia are becoming increasingly important markets.

Uranium

Saskatchewan has historically been the world’s largest uranium producer, but was surpassed by Kazakhstan in 2009. 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.

Agriculture and the flood of 2011

Saskatchewan farms have continued a long standing trend towards fewer and larger farms. Based on the 2011 Census of Agriculture, there were 36,952 farms in Saskatchewan in 2011, down from 50,615 in 2001. However, the average size of farms has increased from 1,282 acres in 2001 to 1,740 acres in 2011. Saskatchewan’s farms are significantly larger than the farms in other provinces. Manitoba is the closest with an average farm size of 1,221 acres.

In 2011, there were 11,145,000 acres sown to wheat, an increase of 815,000 acres compared to 2010. However, 2010 saw the fewest number of acres sown to wheat in modern history. Despite the increased planting of wheat, a longer term trend away from wheat persists. Farmers are switching from planting wheat to other crops, principally canola which was seeded in 9,780,000 acres in 2011, an increase of 1,280,000 acres over 2010.

In 2011, a total of 29,775,000 acres were seeded, significantly below the 20 year average of 33,017,000 acres, but still above the 2010 level of 29,760,000 acres. Seeding was below average in 2010 and 2011 because of heavy flooding.

Despite heavy flooding, wheat yields province-wide were at an all time high of 38.6 bushels/acre, and canola experienced its highest average price ever at $502/tonne. These factors contributed significantly to the $2.563 billion in total net income from farm operations in 2011, the second highest ever. The most profitable year ever was 2008 in which total net income

from farm operation came to $3.780 billion, a record year driven primarily by inventory liquidation.

Income and employment

Average weekly earnings in Saskatchewan went up 3.8 per cent in 2011, and in the past five years have increased 17.2 per cent.

The mining, quarrying, oil and gas sector continues to offer the highest average hourly wages in the province at $36.59/hour.

Saskatchewan added 4,800 new full-time jobs in 2011, down from 7,600 full time jobs created in 2010. Despite slower job creation, the number of unemployed persons declined by 1,100 in 2011.

A large part of the income growth and the decline in full-time job growth can be attributed to the labour shortage. Saskatchewan’s unemployment rate has been the lowest in the country since 2009, and dropped from the 5.2 per cent in 2010 to 5.0 per cent in 2011.

Population

There were 14,813 births in Saskatchewan in 2011, and 9,590 deaths resulting in a natural population increase of 5,223. Additionally, in 2011, there were 11,841 more people that moved to Saskatchewan than left, of which 10,660 were net immigrants from other countries, and 1,181 were net immigrants from other provinces. Combined natural increase and net immigration have resulted in a total population increase of 17,064 over

the year. At the end of 2011, the population of Saskatchewan reached an estimated record high of 1,067,612.

The 2011 Census of Population counted 1,033,381 people living in Saskatchewan on census day, this is a 6.7 per cent increase over the 2006 Census of Population.

The Census population counts are not comparable to quarterly population estimates from the Statistics Canada Demography Division. Census population does not include net undercount (number of persons missed by the Census less the number of persons counted twice) and other adjustments made by Demography Division to the Census data.

The 2011 Census of Population revealed that Saskatchewan has 320 centenarians representing the highest percentage of any province. However, they were offset by a 19.6 per cent increase in the number of children under the age of 5, resulting in 19.15 per cent of Saskatchewan’s population being under the age of 15, the highest percentage of any province.

Saskatchewan’s median age has fallen from 38.7 years in 2006, to 38.2 years in 2011. Saskatchewan is the only province in the country to record a falling median age.

Housing

Saskatchewan’s rising population and incomes have been fueling a residential construction boom. In 2006, residential building permits totaled $493 million. By 2011, the value of residential building permits rose to a record high of $1,431 million, an increase of 290 per cent.

The number of housing starts continues to rise. In 2011 there were 7,031 housing starts, up from 5,907 in 2010.

Utilities

Rapid economic growth has been driving increases in Saskatchewan’s electricity consumption. Saskatchewan consumed a record amount of electricity in 2011 of 21,611 GWh, surpassing the previous record set in 2010 of 20,759 GWh. For several years prior to 2008, Saskatchewan was a net exporter of electricity, but for the past 4 years Saskatchewan has been a net importer of electricity. In 2011, Saskatchewan had net electricity imports of 53 GWh, most of which came from Manitoba.

In 2011, to help meet our growing demand for electricity, the world’s first industrial scale carbon capture and sequestration power plant was approved for construction in Saskatchewan at Saskpower’s Boundary dam power plant.

In 2011, 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 2017.

Conclusion

According to Statistics Canada, Saskatchewan experienced 4.8 per cent growth in real GDP at basic prices in 2011. Much of that growth was the result of external demand that supported prices and drove commodity production and sales volumes to or near record highs.
