In the past, the Bank of Canada (the Bank) and Statistics Canada both produced aggregate measures of borrowing, or credit, for sectors of the Canadian economy. The Statistics Canada measures were on a quarterly basis as part of the National Balance Sheet Accounts (NBSA) whereas the Bank of Canada published monthly statistics. While both estimates are drawn from the same data sources and paint a similar picture of the indebtedness of Canadian households and non-financial businesses, some reconcilable differences existed in the aggregate measures. Starting in December 2020 Statistics Canada will be producing monthly estimates that will be integrated into the larger NBSA framework. This will provide users with a single and consistent set of monthly estimates that align with the internationally recognized national accounting principles detailed in the United Nations System of National Accounts This guide will serve as a review of the historical differences between each organization's credit aggregates, the conceptual and statistical changes that will occur as a result of the integration of monthly estimates within the NBSA, and a detailed overview of the methods that will be employed to estimate the outstanding credit debt of households and non-financial private corporations by lending sector.

This article describes revisions to the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) by Income and by Expenditure Accounts for the 2017 to 2019 period. These data were released at the same time as the 2019 Provincial and Territorial Economic Accounts estimates, which include revisions to the time series. The first two quarters of 2020 are also revised. However, in accordance with standard revision practice, these estimates will continue to be revised during upcoming cycles. Therefore, they are not included in the analysis in this article.

This special article in the Economic Insights series provides a concise overview of the lifting of restrictions on social and economic activity that were implemented as Canada and other countries sought to contain the COVID-19 pandemic. Intended to support ongoing analysis of the economic impacts of COVID-19, the article provides contextual information on these restrictions, compiled from publicly available sources.
Release date: 2020-07-28 - Articles and reports: 11-626-X2020008Description:
This article in the Economic Insights series reports on a set of experimental monthly economic activity indexes that have been estimated for the provinces and territories up to March 2020. The COVID-19 pandemic has accentuated the need for timely information on aggregate economic activity with more geographical detail. This article describes how more timely economic data can be summarized in indexes that generally reflect the broad movements of the provincial and territorial economies.

This documentation outlines the methodology used to develop the Distributions of household economic accounts published in June 2020 for the reference years 2010 to 2019. It describes the framework and the steps implemented to produce distributional information aligned with the National balance sheet accounts and other national accounts concepts. It also includes a report on the quality of the estimated distributions.

Since March, Canadian governments, federal, provincial and local, along with their associated government business enterprises, have been implementing a wide range of policy measures to address the COVID-19 pandemic. Many of these measures are economic in nature, taking the form of financial transfers and concessional loans to individuals, businesses and other groups. These actions will be reflected in the national accounts estimates for March and subsequent months, quarters and years. This paper outlines the main policy measures of an economic nature and identifies where their effects will be seen in the accounts.

Understanding intangible investments is essential for providing accurate measures of gross fixed capital formation (GFCF), gross domestic product (GDP) and productivity growth, and for understanding the innovation system. Statistical agencies need measures of intangible investment to produce economic statistics on aggregate activity that accurately measure concepts such as GDP, GFCF or savings. The levels of GDP, GFCF and savings will be underestimated to the extent that expenditures are incorrectly classified as intermediate inputs that are fully consumed during the period being measured—and not as investments that are not fully consumed during the period when the expenditures are incurred. Estimates for GDP and productivity growth rates may be similarly underestimated. This paper updates and expands upon the intangible capital estimates presented by Baldwin et al. (2009), who extended already measured intangibles (i.e., research and development [R&D], software, mineral exploration) to include additional asset classes consistent with international research on intangible capital measurement (see Corrado, Hulten and Sichel 2009).
