Economic activity increases in October; flash estimate suggests further growth in November
GDP increased 0.1% in month-on-month seasonally-adjusted terms in October, which followed September's 0.2% increase. The result marked the worst reading since January, but was still the ninth straight month of growth. A stronger services sector—the entertainment and hospitality sectors performed particularly well—more than offset weaker industrial activity.
On an annual basis, GDP rose at a softer pace of 3.1% in October (September: +3.9% yoy).
According to a flash estimate, the economy expanded a further 0.1% in November, with increases in the utilities, wholesale, and finance and insurance sectors partially offset by decreases in the construction, retail, and mining sectors.
FocusEconomics analysts project growth of 0.4% in 2023, which is down 0.3 percentage points from last month. In 2024, our analysts see growth at 1.6%.

On 25 January, the Bank of Canada (BoC) raised its target for the overnight rate from 4.25% to 4.50%, and announced it was continuing to reduce the stock of outstanding government bonds.
