Advance estimate points to a 0.1% rise in September manufacturing sales
Published by BriefDash · · Toronto
Statistics Canada's preliminary estimate suggests total manufacturing sales edged up 0.1% in September, led by petroleum and coal products and aerospace products and parts. The agency warns that the result is based on a 71.3% weighted response rate, below the 92.4% average for final estimates, so revisions are more likely. The official September estimate is scheduled for November 13.
Why it matters
The early reading suggests nearly flat factory sales, but its lower response rate makes the final estimate especially important.
