Alberta tops provinces for growth, GDP per capita

Alberta's economy grew by 3.3 percent in 2023, surpassing the national average and leading other major provinces such as British Columbia, Ontario, and Quebec, according to recent figures from Statistics Canada.

Danielle Smith highlighted these results and noted that Albertans also generated the highest GDP per capita in the country.

Earlier in the year, Danielle Smith reported that Alberta added over 23,000 new jobs and saw its unemployment rate fall below the national average, according to labour market figures. The province also closed its 2025-26 fiscal year with a $2.2 billion surplus, and the Heritage Savings Trust Fund climbed above $32 billion, as previously noted. These milestones come amid continued economic outperformance relative to other provinces.
