EVENT ENDED
The economic growth used to be pretty solid in Canada during Spring and Summer 2018. The report released in July showed that the GDP increased by 0.5% a month, but August's report showed a steep dovish turnaround as growth fell flat to 0.0%, lower than expectations which were for a 0.1% increase. We saw some really weak inflation and retail sales numbers from Canada for August, but the GDP increased by 0.1% nonetheless.  Since last September, the economy has gone downhill as we have seen three contractions in the last four months until December. There was a jump in October, but the decline resumed in November, and Canada closed last year with GDP in contraction. In January it suddenly made a reversal and the GDP jumped 0.3% higher, but it contracted by 0.1% again in February, which was revised lower to -0.2%. Although, we saw a 0.5% jump in March and in April we saw another positive reading as the GDP expanded by 0.3%. In May, growth was expected to be at 0.1% but it beat expectations and came at 0.2%. For June, the economy expanded by 0.2%, but it fell flat in July. Although, the economy was expected to have grown by 0.2% in August, it grew by 0.1% instead, where it stayed for September, but in October it contracted by 0.1%. Although, the Canadian economy returned to expansion again, growing by 0.1% in November, while in December we saw a 0.3% increase. In January the GDP fell to 0.1% and it fell flat at 0.0% in February. The GDP contracted by 7.2% in March due to the lockdowns, but the contraction got more severe in April, at -11.6%. But, it increased by 4.5% in May and by 6.5% in July, but that is not as strong as the rebound in other economies. August came at 1.2% while in September we saw a further slowdown to 0.9%. In October the GDP slowed further to 0.4%, while in December it only grew by 0.1%. The economy has been growing at a decent pace since then, but turned negative in April and May due to restrictions at -0.3%. In June we saw an increase of 0.7% but July turned out negative again at -0.1%, although August came at 0.4%. In September the GDP slowed to 0.1% but increased by 0.8% in October, while November came at 0.6%. In January the GDP increased by 0.2, in February 2022 by 1.1% while in March it is expanded by 0.57%. Since July we have seen a 0.1% increase with October falling flat at 0.0%, while this time it is expected to show a 0.1% for November.  Follow us for the live coverage of this event by experienced analysts.
