The month-over-month gross domestic product (GDP) measures the total economic activity in Canada compared to the previous month. This data is released monthly by Statistics Canada and is essential for evaluating short-term economic trends.
Month-over-month GDP data helps determine the extent to which the economy is growing or stagnating over a short period. If GDP is increasing, it indicates economic expansion, with potential rises in corporate profits and employment. Conversely, if GDP is decreasing, it suggests economic stagnation or contraction, which could lead to declines in corporate profits and employment.
This data is crucial for policymakers to assess the health of the economy and develop appropriate monetary and fiscal policies. For instance, if GDP shows high growth, the central bank might consider raising interest rates to mitigate inflation risks. Conversely, if GDP is decreasing, it may be necessary to enhance economic stimulus measures. For businesses and investors, GDP data is a vital source of information for economic forecasting and investment strategy development.
