Canada Factory Activity Continues to Contract
The S&P Global Canada Manufacturing PMI dropped to 49.2 in December of 2022 from 49.6 in November, pointing to the fifth straight month of falling factory activity, amid further falls in output, new orders and purchasing activity. Inventories were drawn down as firms sought to realign stocks with current production requirements. Delivery delays continued, and again contributed to inflationary pressures which strengthened over the month. Both input and output price inflation continued to increase at an elevated rate, prompted by high transportation costs, and generally tight supply conditions. On the other hand, employment rose slightly linked in part to long-held vacancies at plants. Confidence in the future was little changed at a below-par level.
