Canada: 2024 Article IV Consultation-Press Release; and Staff Report, (USA: International Monetary Fund, 2024) accessed September 16, 2024

Summary

The Canadian economy appears to have achieved a soft landing: inflation has come down almost to target, while a recession has been avoided, with GDP growth cushioned by surging immigration even as per capita income has shrunk. Housing unaffordability has risen to levels not seen in a generation, with demand boosted by immigration and supply facing continued challenges to expansion.
