Canada’s Ivey PMI was released on 06 November 2026 at 15:00 GMT, showing a reported value of 56.4 for the reference period of October 2026. The figure is lower than the previous period’s reading of 61.9.
What the index measures
The Ivey PMI is a survey-based gauge of purchasing managers’ views on business conditions. A reading above 50 generally points to expansion, while a reading below 50 points to contraction, so the latest figure remains comfortably in expansion territory even though it moved lower.
The drop from 61.9 to 56.4 is a decline from the previous period, though the release does not state the size of the change beyond those two values.
