Why it matters
Most countries only measure GDP quarterly; a monthly estimate (the UK, Canada) shows the economy's momentum sooner and lets markets anticipate the quarterly release.
How it is calculated
Statistics Canada combines monthly output data from services, industry and construction into an index of gross value added.
What changes mean
- Single months are noisy (strikes, weather, holidays); the three-month average is more reliable.
Higher than expected: A stronger figure than expected points to a healthier economy: it usually supports the Canadian dollar and local stocks, and can push bond yields up.
Lower than expected: A weaker figure than expected points to slowing activity: the Canadian dollar tends to soften and markets price in lower rates.
A short history
The UK's Office for National Statistics began publishing official monthly GDP in 2018; Statistics Canada has published monthly GDP by industry for decades.
