Canada’s gross domestic product inched up by just 0.1% in January 2026, indicating that economic growth has largely stalled at the start of the year. The latest month‑over‑month reading, updated on 31 March 2026, shows only a marginal expansion compared with the previous month.
According to the data, the current 0.1% figure reflects the change in January relative to December, while the “previous” value represents the change in December from November. With growth now hovering at this low level, the numbers point to a fragile economic backdrop and limited short‑term momentum, as the economy struggles to build on prior gains. Investors and policymakers will be watching upcoming releases closely for signs of either renewed strength or a potential slowdown.
