Canada inflation rate highest since February 2003

The annual inflation rate in Canada rose to 4.4% in September from 4.1% in August and compared to market forecasts of 4.3%, with base effects from last year still weighing. It was the highest inflation rate since February 2003 amid intensifying price pressures due to supply chain issues and from lower price levels in 2020. Excluding gasoline, the CPI rose 3.5%, up from 3.2% in August. On a monthly basis, consumer prices went up 0.2%, the same pace as in the prior month but slightly above market estimates of a 0.1% increase.
