Canadian economic accounts, fourth quarter 2008 and December 2008
Real gross domestic product (GDP) declined 0.8% in the fourth quarter, weakening progressively each month. Declines in exports, capital investment and personal expenditures all contributed to the economic contraction. Real GDP declined 1.0% in December. A more detailed analysis and additional data tables are available in Canadian Economic Accounts Quarterly Review.
Financial flow accounts, fourth quarter 2008
Funds borrowed on financial markets by domestic non-financial sectors increased in the fourth quarter of 2008. Federal government short-term paper and bond issues accounted for more than 50% of total activity. Non-financial corporations' new borrowings included a substantial increase in bank loans, as there was a significant drop in activity in both the bond and equity markets. Overall household borrowing slowed.
