What Canada's economic profile is telling you
Canada remained a large high-income economy in 2025, with modest real growth, consumer-price inflation close to 2 percent and a modeled unemployment rate of 6.9 percent. Those indicators describe different parts of the cycle and are kept separate on this page.
Canada is deeply integrated into North American and global goods markets. A headline merchandise balance is not inserted here because the national 2025 trade release is denominated in Canadian dollars and this page keeps the trade panel on a consistent US-dollar basis.
Reading the macro data
GDP measures current-dollar economic size. Real growth tracks output after price effects, while CPI inflation and unemployment describe separate price and labor-market conditions.
Reading the trade data
Merchandise exports and imports cover traded goods. They are not combined with services trade or presented as a current-account balance.
