The growth rate of a nation’s Gross Domestic Product, also known as GDP, is one of the most important indicators for each currency. Canadian economy stagnated in February after three months of growth. This time we’ll get the figures for March. It’s quite clear that the coronavirus had its devastating impact on the data.
