Commenting on the data, “another robust improvement in operating conditions was seen across Canada’s manufacturing sector in July,” noted Shreeya Patel, Economist at IHS Markit.
“Intense price pressures continued into the second half of the year, though firms have been passing on the higher expenses,” Patel added. “Nevertheless, manufacturers in Canada expect growth to continue.”
