Description
Although Alberta is known to be a major exporter of goods and services to international and Canadian markets, Alberta’s imports are also quite substantial. In 2016, imports of goods and services from the other provinces and territories totaled $67 billion in 2016, actually exceeding Alberta’s inter-provincial exports of $63 billion in that year. Although inter-provincial imports into Alberta also declined during Alberta’s 2015/2016 recession, they were still 38% higher in 2016 than they were in 2016. The top Canadian suppliers of Alberta imports are Ontario, British Columbia and Quebec.
