Canada’s gross domestic product (GDP) fell by 0.2 percent in the final quarter of 2025, bringing yearly GDP growth to 1.7 percent.

The Bank of Canada had projected that Canada’s economic growth in the fourth quarter would be flat, and not decline, after “expanding rapidly” by 0.6 percent in the third quarter. It also expected that Canada’s GDP growth would be 1.1 percent overall in 2025.
