Canadian manufacturing sales increased 0.6 per cent in
September, the fourth increase in the past five months. The increase was
primarily the result of higher sales in the motor vehicle assembly and food
industries, though sales rose in 11 of 21 manufacturing sectors.
In BC, manufacturing sales rose 2.3 per cent from August
and 4.5 per cent year-over-year. September's increase in sales was fairly broad
based with shipments of both non-durable goods growing 3 per cent and durable
goods rising 1.7 per cent. Year-to-date,
total BC manufacturing sales are 1.8 per cent higher than last year.
