Saskatchewan’s economy to lead once again

Saskatchewan’s economy is receiving another flattering review.

The Conference Board of Canada is predicting the province will lead the nation in economic growth on the back of strong commodity prices, a rebound in agriculture and a growing population.

The board is forecasting a gross domestic product growth of 3.9 per cent this year and 4.5 per cent in 2012.

The forecast comes from the organization's winter Provincial Outlook Executive Summary released Friday.
