| Alberta's international exports are forecast to slow considerably after years of sizzling growth. |
| Export Development Canada says the province's exports are expected to grow by only one per cent this year and two per cent next year. |
| Stephen Poloz, EDC's chief economist, says the energy sector and the U.S. economy are cooling off. |
| Almost 90 per cent of Alberta's international exports go the U.S. |
| Poloz says weaker oil prices are expected over the next two to three years, but natural gas prices should increase somewhat. |
| Agriculture is about the only export sector that is expected to maintain strong growth. |
