What this indicator is and why it matters
Real GDP at basic prices, all industries, is Statistics Canada's monthly measure of economic output, built by adding up the value added by each industry. It is expressed in chained 2017 dollars at a seasonally adjusted annual rate and published about two months after the month ends, with an advance estimate for the following month.
Because it arrives every month, it gives the earliest reliable read on Canadian growth, well before the quarterly national accounts. The industry detail shows which parts of the economy are driving changes, such as energy, manufacturing, real estate or public services, which helps banks and investors judge where demand for credit is coming from. The Bank of Canada uses it to track growth between its quarterly projections.
Two differences from the quarterly GDP page matter. This series is measured at basic prices, which exclude taxes on products and include subsidies, so its level is lower than GDP at market prices. And it adds up output by industry rather than spending by households, businesses and government, so its quarterly growth can differ from the expenditure-based figure, especially in first estimates. Monthly figures are also revised, and one-off events such as strikes or wildfires can swing a single month.
