About Quarterly na GDP (CAD)

Canada's quarterly GDP growth rate measures the percentage change in real output from the prior quarter, published by the national statistics office. It is the most widely cited short-run growth indicator for Canada.

Why FX traders watch it

Quarter-on-quarter GDP growth directly informs the Bank of Canada's assessment of spare capacity in the Canada economy. Two consecutive negative prints define a technical recession, an event that can trigger a sustained shift in cad positioning.

How to interpret the data

A quarter-on-quarter rate above market expectations generally supports the cad, while a miss or contraction increases the likelihood of accommodative policy and can weigh on the exchange rate.
