Quick Glance: Canada Urgently Needs to Boost Productivity
  • Carolyn Rogers, the Deputy Governor of the Bank of Canada, emphasizes the need for a turnaround to safeguard the economy from potential inflationary pressures.

  • In the fourth quarter of 2023, Canada saw a 1.7% annual increase in productivity, marking the first rise following six consecutive quarterly declines.

  • Current data suggests that Canada's productivity level has remained virtually unchanged for the past seven years.

  • Furthermore, an additional measure of living standards utilized by economists indicates a prolonged stagnation, remaining stagnant at a level reminiscent of nearly a decade ago.
