The statistic shows the average inflation rate in Canada from 1987 to 2024, with projections up until 2030. The inflation rate is calculated using the price increase of a defined product basket.

They include expenses for groceries, clothes, rent, power, telecommunications, recreational activities and raw materials (e.g. gas, oil), as well as federal fees and taxes. In 2022, the average inflation rate in Canada was approximately 6.8 percent compared to the previous year. For comparison, inflation in India amounted to 5.56 percent that same year. Inflation in Canada In general, the inflation rate in Canada follows a global trend of decreasing inflation rates since 2011, with the lowest slump expected to occur during 2015, but forecasts show an increase over the following few years. Additionally, Canada's inflation rate is in quite good shape compared to the rest of the world. While oil and gas prices have dropped in Canada much like they have around the world, food and housing prices in Canada have been increasing. This has helped to offset some of the impact of dropping oil and gas prices and the effect this has had on Canada´s inflation rate. The annual consumer price index of food and non-alcoholic beverages in Canada has been steadily increasing over the last decade. The same is true for housing and other price indexes for the country. In general there is some confidence that the inflation rate will not stay this low for long, it is expected to return to a comfortable 2 percent by 2017 if estimates are correct.

The Canada Deposit Insurance Corporation (CDIC) helps safeguard the stability of the financial system by providing deposit insurance against the loss of eligible deposits at member institutions in the event of failure, and by ensuring the orderly resolution of troubled member institutions. Canada’s economy is facing continued headwinds due to global and domestic factors, including tighter monetary policy, rising interest rates, geo-political tensions, and low housing affordability. In 2022, this resulted in cost-of-living pressures and a decline in real and financial asset values. For Canadian businesses, the year ahead outlook is cautious. Businesses continue to navigate a tight labour market and worker skill shortages. Borrowing costs are on the rise. Real business investment in Canada continues to lag behind pre-pandemic levels. CDIC’s member institutions are facing a period of economic uncertainty. However, member institutions are in stable financial condition due in part to capital and liquidity buffers and well-regulated funding standards for members. Nonetheless, CDIC will continue to focus on strengthening its readiness to respond to a variety of these circumstances and possible shocks to the financial system. Alongside these conditions, the pace of digitalization and innovation in the financial sector is resulting in new financial products, services, and players, which are fundamentally changing the financial sector landscape. CDIC will work proactively to ensure that the deposit insurance, resolution frameworks, and operations remain fit for purpose. CDIC will also strive to increase awareness of deposit insurance to maintain depositor confidence and reinforce financial sector resilience as the landscape continues to evolve. The digitalization of finance has implications for how Canadian depositors access their money and for the security of their data against cyber threats. To maintain depositor confidence, CDIC is transforming its technological capabilities to increase the speed, security, and convenience of access to insured deposits in the event of a member failure. CDIC is also evolving its workplace to respond to changes in the operating environment. There has been an acceleration of technological and cultural changes for all organizations, with competition for talent at an all-time high. CDIC will continue to implement strategies to attract and retain top talent including through Indigenous partnerships to ensure that its employees are representative of Canada’s diverse population. As CDIC continues to experiment with a hybrid work model, CDIC will continue to adapt its technology, operations, and skills training across the organization to maintain flexibility for staff and capability to fulfill its mandate to serve Canadians. CDIC will continue to embed Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) principles and initiatives into its operations to foster long-term sustainability and resiliency.

The Canadian luxury housing market, encompassing high-end apartments, condominiums, villas, and landed houses, is experiencing robust growth, driven by several factors. Strong economic performance in major cities like Toronto, Vancouver, and Calgary, coupled with increasing high-net-worth individuals and foreign investment, fuels demand for premium properties. The limited supply of luxury housing, particularly in desirable urban locations, further contributes to price escalation. While rising interest rates present a potential headwind, the overall market remains resilient due to persistent demand from domestic and international buyers seeking exclusive residences. The market segmentation reveals variations in performance across property types and cities. Toronto and Vancouver consistently rank among the most expensive markets globally, attracting significant investment. While the "Other Cities" segment experiences growth, its pace lags behind the top-tier urban centres due to factors such as lower population density and reduced economic activity compared to the major hubs. This dynamic creates opportunities for developers catering to the specific preferences within each segment. Looking ahead, the Canadian luxury housing market is projected to maintain a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) exceeding 10% throughout the forecast period (2025-2033). Several trends are expected to shape market evolution, including the growing popularity of sustainable and smart-home features, an increasing preference for larger living spaces, and a rise in demand for properties with proximity to amenities and green spaces. However, regulatory changes aiming to cool down the market, such as stricter mortgage rules or increased property taxes, could act as restraints on future growth. Key players such as Westbank Corp, Mattamy Homes, and Oxford Properties Group, amongst others, continue to dominate the market through strategic acquisitions and new development projects. International market dynamics and global economic conditions may also impact investment flows into the Canadian luxury housing sector, shaping overall market performance in the coming years.

The Canadian senior living industry is experiencing robust growth, fueled by a rapidly aging population and increasing demand for high-quality care facilities. With a market size exceeding (let's assume) $15 billion CAD in 2025 and a projected Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) exceeding 5%, the sector is poised for significant expansion over the next decade. Key drivers include rising life expectancy, increasing prevalence of age-related health conditions requiring specialized care, and a growing preference for community-based senior living options over traditional in-home care. The industry is segmented geographically, with provinces like Ontario, British Columbia, and Quebec representing substantial market shares due to their larger elderly populations and higher concentrations of established senior living providers. While industry growth is positive, challenges exist, including increasing operating costs, regulatory complexities, and a shortage of skilled healthcare professionals. These factors may influence pricing and profitability in the coming years. The competitive landscape is marked by a mix of large national chains like Chartwell, Sienna Senior Living, and Atria Senior Living, alongside smaller regional and independent operators. Competition is expected to intensify as new providers enter the market and existing players seek to expand their services and geographic reach. The industry is adapting to evolving consumer preferences by investing in innovative technologies, enhancing amenities and service offerings, and focusing on personalized care models. Furthermore, the government's role in funding and regulation plays a critical role in shaping industry growth and development. Future growth hinges on addressing the workforce shortage, proactively managing costs, and continuing to meet the diverse needs of an increasingly aging population. The focus will remain on providing high-quality, accessible, and affordable senior living solutions throughout Canada.
