Canada’s Inflation Rate Eases to 2.8% in February

Canada’s annual inflation rate unexpectedly fell to 2.8% last month, marking a deceleration from the 2.9% increase recorded in January. The February consumer price index report, released by Statistics Canada, revealed several contributing factors to this slowdown.

  2. Cellular and Internet Services: Sharp declines in cellular and internet services also contributed to the moderation in inflation. These essential services saw reduced price growth during the month.

As we navigate these fluctuations, Canadians can expect further updates on inflation trends. The unexpected dip to 2.8% in February underscores the need for vigilance in managing economic stability.
