Canada's gross domestic product expanded at a 2.6% annualized rate in the third quarter, marking the quickest growth since late last year. This surge reversed a 1.8% drop from the prior quarter, largely due to shifts from exports toward housing and public outlays. Trade data faced complications from U.S. government shutdowns, yet exports held steady.
The Canadian economy rebounded sharply from the initial damage of the trade war as the country's growth drivers shifted to housing and government spending.
Household spending dipped slightly (-0.1%), and business investments stayed flat, highlighting reliance on public and residential sectors.
