The Canadian economy stalled from the previous quarter in Q4 of 2022, putting an end to five consecutive quarters of growth and following a 0.7% expansion in Q3. Inventory accumulation in the fourth quarter declined for manufacturing and retail goods, driving investment in inventories to decline by CAD 29.8 billion. Further, higher interest rates by the Bank of Canada hampered investment in housing (-2.3%), extending the decline for gross fixed capital formation (-0.7% vs -1.7% in Q3). On the other hand, consumption expenditure in the Canadian economy expanded by 0.5% (vs 0.3%), supported by both household consumption (0.5% vs -0.1%) and government expenditure (0.1% vs 0.6%). At the same time, net foreign demand contributed positively to GDP growth as exports grew by 0.2% while imports shrank by 3.2%. source: Statistics Canada

Canada GDP Grows 0.7% in Q3
The Canadian economy expanded 0.7% on quarter in Q3 2022, a fifth consecutive quarter of growth, and following a 0.8% increase in Q2. Growth in exports, non-residential structures, and business investment in inventories were moderated by declines in housing investment and household spending. Exports increased 2.1%, led by crude oil and bitumen, and farm and fishing products. Imports fell 0.4%, reflecting widespread declines in energy products, including crude oil, natural gas, and nuclear fuel. Also, accumulation of non-farm inventories was $46.8 billion, a record high, led by stocks in manufacturing, wholesale trade, and retail trade sectors. On the other hand, housing investment declined 4.1%, a second consecutive fall, coinciding with higher interest rates. Household spending edged down 0.3%, the first decline since Q2 2021, mainly due to expenditures on new trucks, vans and sport utility vehicles, furniture and furnishings, and pharmaceutical products. Also, services growth slowed.
