Canadian Economic Observer

Journals and periodicals: 11-010-X
Description: This monthly periodical is Statistics Canada's flagship publication for economic statistics. Each issue contains a monthly summary of the economy, major economic events and a feature article. A statistical summary contains a wide range of tables and graphs on the principal economic indicators for Canada, the provinces and the major industrial nations. A historical listing of this same data is contained in the Canadian economic observer: historical supplement (Catalogue no. 11-210-XPB and XIB).
Notes: Statistics Canada published the last online edition of Canadian Economic Observer (CEO) on June 15, 2012. The last print edition was published on June 22, 2012. Feature articles and assessments of the Canadian economy, which appeared in the CEO, will now be available to all Canadians free of charge in Statistics Canada's Economic Insights (11-626-X) series. All data series included in the CEO Statistical Supplement for paying subscribers are now available free of charge to all Canadians in CANSIM.

Catalogue no. 11-010-XWB was formed by a merger of Canadian statistical review (11-003-XPB), Current economic indicators (13-005-XPB), Quarterly economic summary (13-006-XPB), and Quarterly economic summary, statistical supplement (13-007-XPB).
