StatsCan reports construction increase in December
Statistics Canada reported yesterday that total investment in building construction increased 1.5 per cent in December, following three consecutive months of declines. Non-residential construction investment remained at $4.4 billion for the third consecutive month. Ontario reported the largest gain, up 2.0 per cent from November.
Investment in commercial building construction edged up 0.3 per cent in December, driven in large part by Ontario’s growth in this sector (up 3.6 per cent to $1.1 billion). The construction of large projects, such as Amazon’s Project Python being built in Ottawa, contributed to the rise.
Institutional investment (up 0.9 per cent) also increased in December but industrial investment edged down 0.2 per cent.
