Factory sales rise in dollars, with volumes unchanged
Published by BriefDash ·
Canadian factories recorded $79.9 billion in sales in August 2026, a 1.5% increase from July, Statistics Canada reported on October 15. Once price changes are removed, sales were unchanged. Primary metals and chemicals contributed to the rise in dollar sales, while transportation equipment declined. The figures are seasonally adjusted.
