Canadá Tasa De Inflación

The annual inflation rate in Canada rose to 2.4% in September of 2025 from 1.9% in the previous month, overshooting market expectations of 2.3% to mark the highest inflation rate since February. It was the first time inflation crossed the Bank of Canada's 2% threshold in six months. Base-year effects drove gasoline deflation to ease to 4.1% from 12.7% in August, with the drop in crude oil prices preventing a rebound in fuel prices. Consequently, transportation costs rose by 1.5% annually from the 0.5% drop last month. The CPI accelerated for food (3.8% vs 3.4% in August) due to a pickup in inflation for groceries (4% vs 3.5%), owed to a rebound in prices of vegetables 1.9% vs -2%) and a surge in sugar and confectionery (9.2% vs 5.8%). In turn, inflation rose for household operations (2.4% vs 2.1%) and recreation, education, and reading (1.6% vs 0.5). The mean core inflation rate, closely watched by the BoC, held at the one-year high of 3.2%, contrasting with expectations of 3%.
