Canada to Resume Publishing Trade Data Delayed by U.S. Shutdown

Canada’s statistics agency plans to resume publishing merchandise trade reports next month, after the end of a U.S. government shutdown that deprived it of export data.

Statistics Canada is working with the U.S. Census Bureau on a joint release on March 6 for December trade data, and the timing could change again if there are further disruptions. The trade figures for January that were due March 7 will be delayed, and reports for other months will likely be affected, the Ottawa-based agency said Tuesday.
