Canada’s Real Gross Domestic Product (GDP) expanded at a monthly rate of 0.6% in November, data published by Statistics Canada showed on Tuesday. This reading was well above the consensus market forecast for a growth rate of 0.3% MoM and marked a slight deceleration in the 0.8% MoM growth rate seen in October. Statistics Canada said that GDP was most likely unchanged in December on a MoM basis, implying that Q4 GDP growth likely stood at 6.3% annualised.
