Alberta has the second highest per capita investment among the
provinces, just behind Newfoundland and Labrador.
In 2016, per capita investment in Alberta was $14,606, more than twice the
national average of $6,579.
Non-residential investment declined by 18 per cent in 2016 to $62 billion
because of falling oil and gas investment, which resulted from a sharp
decline in oil and gas prices.
Oil and gas investment is expected to grow by about 2 per cent in 2017
because of rising investment in conventional oil and gas projects.
Investment is expected to recover and be one of the major drivers of
Alberta's economic growth over the long term, driven by investment in oil
sands development, manufacturing, infrastructure and business services.
The Government of Alberta's $34.8-billion infrastructure program in the
Jobs Plan is helping stimulate the economy, keep people working and
address the province's infrastructure deficit.
