Chart of the Week: Tourism - Progress made accessing overseas markets
Alberta’s exports to the U.S. fell last year, but they rose elsewhere. New energy export infrastructure has paved the way for gains in Asia, with the 2025 overseas. Oil, propane and LNG exports to Asia have jumped due to the build-out of TMX, Ridley Island Propane Export Terminal and LNG Canada phase 1, respectively.
This is progress, but also a reminder of how dependent we are on U.S. trade. The vast majority (85.7%) of Alberta’s international exports of goods went to the U.S. last year. That’s down from the peak of 90.2% in 2014 and below the ten-year average of 87.7%. But it’s still a big number.
