Canadian Economy Expands as Expected
The Canadian economy expanded 0.2% month-over-month in January of 2022, the eighth consecutive month of growth, compared to an upwardly revised 0.1% increase in December and in line with market expectations. The goods producing industries expanded by 0.8%, led by construction (2.8%) and utilities production (4%) as below seasonal temperatures in western Canada increased demand for electricity and natural gas for heating purposes. Meanwhile, economic effects of the spread of the Omicron variant led services producing industries to remain stagnant in January, as strong growth in wholesale (3.1%) and retail (2.5%) trade offset the sharp contraction in transportation and housing (-3%). According to preliminary data, the Canadian GDP for February likely grew by 0.8%.
