Today, Statistics Canada is releasing the study "Corporate profitability and inflation: 2017 to 2022."
This paper looks at how profitability has evolved for key Canadian industries from 2017 to 2022. A specific focus is given to the post-lockdown period from the second quarter of 2021 to the second quarter of 2022, during which year-over-year inflation exceeded the Bank of Canada's inflation-control target range ceiling of 3%. In addition to industry-wide trends, energy and food sectors are analyzed given their day-to-day relevance for Canadians.
