IMF boosts Canada’s economic growth forecast to lead G7 countries in 2017

TORONTO – The International Monetary Fund has raised its estimate for Canada’s economic growth rate for this year and 2018, putting it at or near the top of the heap among advanced economies.

The Washington-based IMF is now estimating Canada’s gross domestic product for 2017 will be 3.0 per cent – half a percentage point higher than its July estimate.
