Canadian international merchandise trade, January 2015
Canada’s exports declined 2.8% in January while imports were largely unchanged from December. As a result, Canada’s merchandise trade deficit widened from $1.2 billion in December to $2.5 billion in January, the largest since the record $2.9 billion deficit in July 2012.
Building permits, January 2015
The total value of building permits issued by Canadian municipalities fell 12.9% to $6.1 billion in January, following a 6.1% increase the previous month. Lower construction intentions for non-residential buildings in Alberta, British Columbia and Ontario were responsible for much of the national decline.
