Canada Croissance Du Pib

The Canadian economy expanded by 0.2% in the fourth quarter of 2023, recovering from a revised 0.1% contraction in the previous period, helped by higher exports. The country's exports of goods and services rebounded by 1.4%, largely due to crude oil and crude bitumen sales (+6.2%). Meanwhile, imports of goods and services declined by 0.4%. Additionally, household spending edged up by 0.2%, accelerating from a 0.1% rise in Q3. However, business investment dropped for the sixth time over the last seven quarters. On an annual basis, real GDP grew 1.1%, the third consecutive year of expansion but at the slowest pace since 2016 (2020 excluded), as the economy faced pressure from high-interest rates.
