Statistics Canada to release July inflation report this morning

A poll of economists provided by LSEG Data & Analytics expects the annual inflation rate dipped to 1.8 per cent in July. That's down from 1.9 per cent year-over-year in June. Economists are hoping the report will provide further clarity on how tariffs are affecting the economy.

This report by The Canadian Press was first published Aug. 19, 2025.
