On Monday, October 20, 2025, the Bank of Canada will release the third quarter issues of the Business Outlook Survey and the Canadian Survey of Consumer Expectations.

Results from the Business Outlook Survey and the Business Leaders’ Pulse reveal that firms’ outlooks and intentions remain subdued despite a gradual improvement in sentiment.

One-year-ahead inflation expectations remain below the peak reached earlier in the trade conflict.
