Canadian international merchandise trade, November 2010

Canada's merchandise imports declined 3.2% in November, led by falling volumes of energy products. In contrast, exports increased 0.8%, as prices rose in most sectors. As a result, Canada's trade deficit with the world narrowed to $81 million in November from $1.5 billion in October.

Study: Comparing the 2008-2010 recession and recovery with previous cycles

By most conventional measures, the 2008-2009 recession was less severe than the previous two recessions in Canada. However, both output and employment in the early stages of the downturn contracted at the fastest rate of any post-war recession. Overall, the decline in output in the 2008-2009 recession in Canada was also less than in the other major industrialized countries, and the subsequent recovery quicker and more complete. As a result, Canada is the only G7 nation where real output and employment have returned to pre-recession levels.
