Canada’s per capita Gross Domestic Product (GDP) has fallen to 2017 levels amid slower economic growth and record population increases, according to a new report by Statistics Canada.

“Real GDP per capita has now declined in five of the past six quarters and is currently near levels observed in 2017,” reads the report, “Canada’s gross domestic product per capita: Perspectives on the return to trend.”
