Wholesale Trade Increases in March

Released on May 20, 2014

The value of wholesale trade in Saskatchewan continues to climb, reaching more than $2.1 billion (seasonally adjusted) for the month of March.  According to a Statistics Canada report release today, this marks an increase of 3.4 per cent over February 2014.

Wholesale trade activity earned Saskatchewan second place among the provinces for month-to-month percentage growth; only 0.6 per cent behind the leader, Newfoundland and Labrador.

“Saskatchewan is seeing continuous growth in many sectors, and it is no surprise that wholesale trade in the province is following suit,” Economy Minister Bill Boyd said.  “We couldn’t achieve this type of growth in wholesale trade, or any other sector, without our greatest resource, our people.  Thanks to the men and women working hard in many industries across the province, we can proudly say we’re home to one of Canada’s most diverse and prosperous economies.”

Today’s report also showed that agricultural supply merchants led Saskatchewan’s wholesale trade growth for the month.
