The Canadian economy expanded at a record 8.9% on quarter in Q3 2020, following a record 11.3% drop in the previous period, reflecting reopening of the economy, with substantial upturns in housing investment, household spending on durable goods, and exports. These upturns were influenced by favourable mortgage rates, governments' continued support to households and businesses affected by the pandemic, and growth in major trading partners' economies in the third quarter. On an annualized basis, the economy surged 40.5%. Household spending rebounded 13%, due to purchases of new trucks, vans, sport utility, used motor vehicles and new passenger cars and food and beverages services. Housing investment rose at a record 30.2%, and exports surged 14.5%, notably to the US, the UK, Germany, Italy and France. However, the GDP was still 5.2% lower than in the same quarter last year. source: Statistics Canada
