CA CPI m/m
Consumer prices account for a majority of overall inflation. Inflation is important because rising prices lead the central bank to raise interest rates out of respect for their inflation containment mandate;
This is the most important inflation-related release due to its earliness and broad scope. This is among the few non-seasonally adjusted numbers reported on the calendar, as it's the calculation most commonly reported;

The Consumer Price Index (CPI) increased 2.8% year over year in April, up from an increase of 2.4% in March. Higher energy prices, most notably gasoline prices, drove the acceleration in the headline CPI. The removal of the consumer carbon levy in April 2025, which resulted in monthly declines for gasoline and natural gas, has now fallen out of the 12-month movement, putting upward pressure on the all-items CPI. Excluding gasoline, the CPI rose at a slower pace year over year in April (+2.0%) compared with March (+2.2%). Moderating ...

The Consumer Price Index (CPI) increased 2.4% year over year in March, up from an increase of 1.8% in February. Driving faster price growth in headline inflation were higher prices for energy, especially gasoline, due to the conflict in the Middle East. Excluding gasoline, the CPI rose at a slower pace year over year in March (+2.2%) compared with February (+2.4%). There remained lingering base-year effects from the GST/HST break which ran from December 2024 to February 2025, resulting in downward pressure on headline inflation in ...
From winnipegsun.com|Apr 20, 2026Statistics Canada is set to report fresh inflation data for March this morning. Economists are widely expecting higher gas prices from the Iran war oil shock will drive a jump in the headline inflation figure. A Reuters poll shows economists expect the annual rate of inflation to accelerate to 2.5 per cent in March, from 1.8 per cent in February, according to LSEG Data & Analytics. RBC senior economist Claire Fan says the headline inflation rate would have come in even higher, but the federal government's move to kill the consumer ...

The Consumer Price Index (CPI) rose 1.8% on a year-over-year basis in February, following a 2.3% increase in January. The slowdown in the all-items CPI on a year-over-year basis was largely driven by a monthly increase in prices in February 2025, when the GST/HST break ended partway through the month, and as a result, consumers paid more for affected products. This month-over-month increase fell out of the 12-month price movement in February 2026, resulting in a decelerating base-year effect on headline inflation. The most notable ...
From bnnbloomberg.ca|Mar 16, 2026Fresh inflation data is expected out of Statistics Canada today. A Reuters poll predicted a drop in February’s annual inflation rate to 1.9 per cent from 2.3 per cent in January. The inflation data will factor into the Bank of Canada’s interest rate decision set for Wednesday. The central bank held its key rate at 2.25 per cent last month. On Friday, Statistics Canada said the economy shed 84,000 jobs in February, driving the unemployment rate up two-tenths of a point to 6.7 per cent. CIBC senior economist Katherine Judge called it a ...
From statcan.gc.ca|Feb 17, 2026|1 commentThe Consumer Price Index (CPI) rose 2.3% on a year-over-year basis in January, following a 2.4% increase in December. The gasoline price index was the largest contributor to deceleration in headline inflation, with a larger decline in January compared with December. Excluding gasoline, the CPI rose 3.0% in January, matching the increase in December. Indexes with year-over-year movements impacted by the temporary GST/HST break in January 2025 continued to put upward pressure on the year-over-year all-items increase in January 2026. Of ...

The Consumer Price Index (CPI) rose 2.4% on a year-over-year basis in December, following a 2.2% increase in November. The year-over-year acceleration in the all-items CPI was driven by the temporary Goods and Services Tax (GST)/Harmonized Sales Tax (HST) break that began on December 14, 2024. This resulted in monthly declines for the exempt goods and services, which have now fallen out of the year-over-year movement, putting upward pressure on headline CPI growth. Moderating the acceleration in the headline CPI was a year-over-year ...
