DATA RELEASE
Canada’s August GDP was flat; September advance estimate points to a decline
Published by BriefDash · · Toronto
Statistics Canada’s October 30 release shows real GDP was essentially unchanged in August, the second consecutive flat month, with nine of 20 sectors expanding. Goods-producing industries edged up 0.1%, while services edged down 0.1%. An advance estimate points to a 0.1% September decline; it is preliminary and will be updated with the official release on November 30.
Why it matters
The release separates measured August activity from an early September estimate that can still change.
