This week’s Chart of the Week is, well, a map. The latest data from Statistics Canada shows that Canada's GDP rose by 2% in 2024. All provinces and Nunavut recorded increases in GDP compared to the year before, while Yukon and the Northwest Territories declined. Nunavut (+6.9%) had the highest GDP growth, showing strong economic progress, followed by Prince Edward Island (+3.8%), Nova Scotia (+3.1%), Saskatchewan (+3.0%), and Alberta (+3.0%). The three biggest provinces—Quebec (+1.7%), Ontario (+1.6%), and British Columbia (+1.1%)—also grew, but slower than the overall Canadian economy.

Data for the above chart comes from Statistics Canada Table 36-10-0222-01  Gross domestic product, expenditure-based, provincial and territorial, annual (x 1,000,000) with calculations to get the annual percentage change in GDP figures.
