Alberta continues to be one of Canada’s most important capital markets, representing more than $638 billion in market capitalization as of December 31, 2021. We are Canada’s leading energy jurisdiction and the oil and gas and utilities and pipelines industries represented 75 per cent of the province’s aggregate market capitalization in 2022. Of Alberta-listed reporting issuers (RIs), from 2020 to 2021 oil and gas increased 40 per cent and utilities and pipelines increased 35 per cent. We have also seen growth in a number of emerging sectors, including clean technology, cannabis, financial services, life sciences, and technology and ag tech.

Please note: as in last year’s report, the ASC’s 2022 Alberta Capital Market Report presents issuers on the basis of head office location, rather than principal regulator (PR).
