Construction & Real Estate Industry Driving GDP

Canada’s real gross domestic product (GDP) came in at $1.97 trillion in May, up 0.23% from the month before; a seasonally adjusted $4.52 billion. The real estate and construction industries were responsible for most of May’s rise with revenues for real estate, rental, and leasing hit $250.69 billion in May, or 12.75 per cent of total GDP.

Increased construction activity across Canada represented 27.06% of growth, residential construction being over 80% of that number.
