Top Ten and Trend Graph - January 2010

The accompanying table records the 10 largest construction project starts in Canada in January 2010. Also included is the latest trend graph on starts. This looks at 12-month moving totals of the two major non-residential building categories in Canada − total ICI starts and engineering work. ICI stands for industrial, commercial and institutional.     There are several reasons for highlighting upcoming large projects. Such jobs have often received a fair amount of media coverage. Therefore, people in the industry are on the lookout for when job-site work actually gets underway. And, as showcase projects, they highlight geographically where major construction projects are proceeding.     Also, total construction activity is comprised of many small and medium-sized projects and a limited number of very large developments. But the largest projects, simply by their nature, can dramatically affect total dollar and square footage volumes. In other words, the timing and size of these projects have an outsize-influence on market forecasts.

Latest inflation rates in U.S. and Canada put pressure on central banks

December 2009 inflation rates have recently been released by government agencies for the U.S. and Canada. For both countries, the month-to-month change was minor, +0.1%  in the U.S. and -0.3% in Canada. However, it is the year-over-year figure that gets the headlines and draws the most attention. In the U.S., that number has jumped up to +2.7% from -2.1% just five months before in July. In Canada, it is +1.3% versus -0.8% to -0.9% in July through September of last year. The key question is what impact these inflation rates will have on central bank interest rates.
