The province of Saskatchewan is celebrating another good month of data from Statistics Canada, with recent wholesale trade numbers putting the province near the top of the nation.
Statistics Canada's figures show the province's wholesale trade jumping 5.1 per cent in June 2025 compared to May 2025, excluding petroleum, petroleum products and other hydrocarbons and excluding oilseed and grain. This places Saskatchewan second among the provinces in month-over-month growth.
"Thanks to this growth in wholesale trade, Saskatchewan people, communities, and companies across our province are reaping the rewards," said Trade and Export Development Minister Warren Kaeding. "When businesses do well, it creates more jobs, more investment and increased capacity across our key sectors. With this comes a higher quality of life, making Saskatchewan the best place to live, work and raise a family."
Saskatchewan also recently came in second for real GDP growth in the nation, as it reached an all-time high of $80.5 billion in 2024, increasing by $2.6 billion, or 3.4 per cent.
Other growth indicators include growth in building permits, job reports, and more.
