Seasonally adjusted figures show Saskatchewan posted a 10.1 per cent month-over-month increase from November to December 2025 — the highest growth rate among the provinces for that period.
Trade and Export Development Minister Warren Kaeding said the gains signal continued economic momentum.
“Once again, Saskatchewan’s economy continues to grow,” Kaeding said in a statement. “Investment in building construction leads to new jobs for our workforce, and new infrastructure for our communities. This helps all of us succeed.”
Building construction investment reflects the total value of spending on building projects within a province.
Separate data from Statistics Canada show Saskatchewan’s real gross domestic product reached a record $83.6 billion in 2024, up $2.5 billion or 3.1 per cent from the previous year. The growth rate ranked second in Canada and was above the national average of 1.7 per cent.
The provincial government recently introduced Securing the Next Decade of Growth — Saskatchewan’s Investment Attraction Strategy, aimed at drawing more private-sector investment. The strategy is supported by the province’s trade and investment website, InvestSK.ca.
