Fraser Institute News Release: Mandating a portion of Alberta’s resource revenues be saved during good times key to preventing boom-bust cycle in province’s finances

Retrieved on: 
Tuesday, June 15, 2021

As a sign of the volatility connected with resource revenues, consider that over the past 50 years, Albertas non-renewable resource revenue (adjusted for inflation) ranged from a low of $1.6 billion (1970/71) to a high of $19.0 billion (2005/06).

Key Points:

  • The study recommends re-introducing a savings account (the Alberta Sustainability Fund was eliminated in 2013) in which resource revenues can be deposited during periods when resource revenues are high.
  • These savings can then be used to stabilize resource revenues in periods of comparatively low resource revenues.
  • The second recommendation is for the province to reinstitute the rule that requires a portion of non-renewable resource revenues be deposited into the Heritage Fund.
