Pourquoi c’est important
Industry is a smaller share of output than services in most rich economies but it is far more cyclical and reacts first to global demand. Strong production supports growth estimates; capacity utilisation near its limits points to inflation pressure.
Mode de calcul
Statistics Canada combines physical output and deflated sales data for many industries into a volume index, adjusted for working days and seasons. Capacity utilisation divides output by estimated maximum output.
Change (mom) = index ÷ last month's index − 1
Capacity utilisation = output ÷ capacity × 100Ce que signifient les variations
- Monthly changes are noisy (weather, holidays, strikes); compare with the year-on-year rate.
- In Germany, Japan, Korea and China industry carries more weight for the currency.
Supérieur aux attentes : 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.
Inférieur aux attentes : A weaker figure than expected points to slowing activity: the Canadian dollar tends to soften and markets price in lower rates.
Un bref historique
