Over the past 10 years, Alberta's financial services sector has
experienced exceptional growth fuelled by high levels of capital
investment in Alberta's energy sector. Even during the 2015-2016
recession Alberta's financial services sector continued to grow.
This sector includes six major Canadian banks and is also home to the
headquarters of a number of regional financial institutions including
Canadian Western Bank, Servus Credit Union, ATB Financial, and Alberta
Investment Management Corporation (AIMCO) as well as branches of 75
per cent of the top 20 global investment banks.
Alberta has developed world-class expertise in niche sectors in financial
services such as asset management and energy finance.
Between 2006 and 2016, Alberta's financial services sector GDP rose 42
per cent, outpacing financial services sector GDP growth in all other
provinces. By comparison, GDP in Canada's financial services sector
rose 28 per cent over the same period.
