CANADA DATA: Share Of Services With Inflation >3% Y/Y Almost 'Normal' Again
CANADA DATA
- By our calculations, the share of 185 items across the entire CPI basket growing in excess of 3% Y/Y broadly consolidated August’s latest decline, at 26.5% to hold below both the 33% averaged in 2019 and 28% in the longer-term pre-pandemic average.
- The distribution became a little more favorable for the BoC though: the goods share increased from 21.5% to 23% (still below the 2019 av of 34%, long-term 26%), whilst services nudged fell further from 37% to 35% for a step closer to the 31% seen in both 2019 and longer-term.
- This services share has seen greater convergence than its US counterpart.
