摘要

Twenty years before Norway began stashing away oil and gas revenue for future generations, the Canadian province of Alberta set up a sovereign-wealth fund (swf), as such state-owned hoards are known. Sadly, the Heritage Savings Trust Fund has not lived up to expectations. Although it has been around since 1976, it contains only C$16.8 billion ($15.3 billion). Norway's stripling swf, in contrast, has already accumulated a national nest-egg of $800 billion. Other Canadian provinces are now setting up swFs-and trying to learn from Alberta's mistakes. Canada's constitution gives the provinces authority over natural resources, including the right to retain any royalties or taxes they levy on their exploitation. The provinces have long acted like the grasshopper of Aesop's fable, merrily spending revenues from resources as fast as they came in, with little thought for the future. That was the problem with Alberta's fund: provincial politicians failed to pay into it regularly, or, worse, raided it when short of cash. Yet Alberta and several others are now trying to behave more like the sensible ant of the fable. The Northwest Territories is setting up an swf; Quebec has decided to deposit mining royalties into a fund that already collects the province's revenues from hydropower, and both Saskatchewan and British Columbia are mulling swfs of their own.
