The Canadian economy rebounded by 1.3% on quarter in 3Q 2021, following an upwardly revised 0.8% contraction in the previous period, underpinned by household spending and exports as pandemic restrictions were phased out. Final consumption expenditure advanced at a faster pace (2.9% vs 0.1% in Q2), mainly boosted by household spending (4.2% vs -0.1%) and spending of non-profit institutions serving households final expenditure (1.3% vs 0.6%), while government consumption decreased (-0.2% vs 0.7%). Net external demand also improved, as exports rose 1.9% (vs -4.5% in Q2) and imports edged down 0.6% (vs 0.5% in Q2). Still, gross fixed capital formation deteriorated further (-3.6% vs -0.5%) due to a significant decline in housing investments, which coupled with withdrawals of inventories capped some of the upward momentum. source: Statistics Canada

Canada GDP Back to Contraction in Q2
The Canadian economy unexpectedly shrank 0.3% on quarter in Q2 2021, ending three straight quarters of expansion mostly due to a decline in home resale activities and exports. So-called home ownership transfer costs shrank 17.7%, including all costs associated with the transfer of a residential asset from one owner to another. Meanwhile, international supply chain disruptions have constrained imports of parts mostly for the auto sector and led to a 4% decrease in exports. On a positive note, business inventories, government expenditure, business investment in machinery and equipment, and investment in new home construction and renovation were all higher. On an annualized basis, the Canadian economy contracted 1.1%, compared to forecasts of a 2.5% expansion.

Canada GDP Growth Slows
The Canadian economy expanded 1.4% on quarter in the first three months of 2021, slowing from a downwardly revised 2.2% rise in the previous period but still marking the 3rd consecutive quarter of growth. Favourable mortgage rates, continued government transfers to households and businesses, and an improved labour market continued to support housing investment and household spending. Housing investment expanded 9.4% but rising input costs heightened construction costs. Also, household spending increased 0.7%, with the biggest increases seen for information processing equipment (+18.7%), major tools and equipment (+13.8%), and games, toys and hobbies (+25%). On the other hand, business investment in machinery and equipment fell 2.7%, because of a sharp decline in investment in aircraft (-98.7%), as a large number of used aircraft were disposed of through international exports. Export rose 1.5% and imports 1.1%.
