Kanada Bip-Wachstum

The Canadian GDP rose by 0.6% on quarter in the third quarter of 2025, following a revised 0.5% contraction in the previous period. The expansion was driven by a strengthening trade balance, as imports dropped (-2.2%) and exports edged up (+0.2%). Increased capital investment was driven by government capital spending (+2.9%), supported by a substantial 82.0% rise in expenditures on weapon systems. Governments likewise increased investment in non-residential structures, with notable growth in institutional buildings, including hospitals. Meanwhile, business capital investment was largely unchanged. By contrast, both household consumption (-0.1%) and government spending (-0.4%) decreased, while inventory accumulation also slowed. On an annualized basis, the Canadian GDP grew by 2.6%, rebounding sharply from a revised 1.8% decline in Q2 and well above expectations of a 0.5% rise.
