Saskatchewan’s rate of inflation is the second lowest in the country, a feat the province attributes to its decision to remove the carbon tax on home heating costs at the beginning of the year.
The Consumer Price Index (CPI) rose by 1 percent between April 2024 and April 2023 in the province, the second-lowest increase among the provinces and below the national average of 2.7 percent.
