Canada’s Annual Inflation Rate Rose to 3.4% in December 2023

 

According to the latest report from Statistics Canada, the annual inflation rate in Canada rose to 3.4% in December 2023. This is an increase from the previous month’s rate of 3.1%.

The rise was expected due to a sharper decline in gasoline prices in December 2023 compared to last month. Grocery prices were up 4.7% from a year ago, matching the pace of increase in November. With December marking the last month of the year, Statistics Canada says the annual average inflation rate for 2023 was 3.9%, down from a 40-year high of 6.8% in 2022.
