Canada’s trade deficit narrows less than forecast in January
Statistics Canada announced on
Wednesday that Canada’s merchandise trade deficit stood at CAD4.25 billion in January
2019, narrowing from a revised CAD4.82 billion gap in December 2018 (originally
a CAD4.59-billion deficit).
Economists had expected a deficit
of CAD3.50 billion.
According to the report, the
country’s exports were up 2.9 percent m-o-m in January, the first gain since
July 2018, mainly on the strength of higher crude oil export prices.
Meanwhile, imports jumped 1.5
percent m-o-m, led by higher aircraft imports.
