Canada’s Inflation Rate Rises to 2% in October

 

In October 2024, Canada’s inflation rate increased to 2%, up from 1.6% in September, according to Statistics Canada. This rise marks a significant shift, driven by various economic factors.

The Consumer Price Index (CPI) showed that while gasoline prices fell by 4% year-over-year, this decline was less pronounced than in previous months. Excluding gasoline, the all-items CPI rose by 2.2%, consistent with the growth rates observed in August and September.

Shelter costs continued to rise, albeit at a slower pace, with a 4.8% increase compared to the previous year. Food prices also saw a faster increase, with a 2.7% rise in October compared to 2.4% in September.

This uptick in inflation reflects ongoing adjustments in the economy, influenced by fluctuating energy prices and persistent supply chain challenges. As Canada navigates these economic shifts, the impact on consumers and businesses will be closely monitored.
