萨斯喀彻温省在取消碳税后面临349M的赤字,并面临经济衰退。 Saskatchewan faces a $349M deficit after removing a carbon levy and facing economic downturns.

萨斯喀彻温省的预算已从预计的1 200万美元的盈余转向3.49亿美元的赤字,这主要是由于取消对电费征收碳税的收入下降了1.72亿美元。 Saskatchewan's budget has shifted from a projected $12 million surplus to a $349 million deficit, largely due to a $172 million drop in revenue from removing a carbon levy on electricity bills. 其他因素包括石油价格降低、汇率提高和野火战斗的额外费用。 Additional factors include lower oil prices, a higher exchange rate, and extra costs for wildfire fighting. 尽管出现赤字,但该省的净债务与国内生产总值的比率仍然健康,并计划继续在保健和教育等关键领域投资。 Despite the deficit, the province's net debt-to-GDP ratio remains healthy, and it plans to continue investments in key areas like healthcare and education.
