Inflation trended higher in 2025 from the lows of mid-2024, with the headline rate in line with the Bank of Canada’s 2% target and underlying measures trading closer to the top of the 1%-to-3% target band.[6](https://www.deloitte.com/us/en/insights/topics/economy/global-economic-outlook-2026.html#endnote-6) Inflation expectations, however, remain contained, and given the economy expanded below its potential pace for three successive years, price pressures are expected to remain limited. Real GDP was 2.1% higher in the second quarter compared with a year earlier.[15](https://www.deloitte.com/us/en/insights/topics/economy/global-economic-outlook-2026.html#endnote-15) Consumer spending and business investment have been the primary growth engines despite significant headwinds. This will likely be fueled by reforms in key sectors like telecom and banking, which are attracting new investment, government spending on infrastructure and election-related activities, and the country’s strong agricultural exports.[92](https://www.deloitte.com/us/en/insights/topics/economy/global-economic-outlook-2026.html#endnote-92) However, risks remain. Inflation is expected to remain elevated at 13.2% for the 2025/26 fiscal year,[96](https://www.deloitte.com/us/en/insights/topics/economy/global-economic-outlook-2026.html#endnote-96) driven by high food and fuel costs, currency depreciation, and increased government spending ahead of elections.
