中新社多伦多8月1日电（记者余瑞冬）加拿大统计局7月31日发布的数据显示，5月份加拿大经济环比增长0.2%，这一增长主要得益于商品生产行业的推动。数据显示，5月份商品生产行业环比增长0.4%，其中制造业表现突出，环比增长约1.0%，是推动当月经济增长的主要力量。
具体来看，制造业中的耐用和非耐用制造业均实现增长，尤其是非耐用品制造业环比增长1.4%，是去年11月以来最大增幅。这一增长部分得益于加拿大众多炼油厂在4月份维护工作结束后，石油和煤炭产品制造业的环比增幅达7.3%。
然而，加拿大5月份经济也面临一些挑战。零售贸易行业环比收缩0.9%，成为经济增长的最大拖累因素。批发贸易行业也出现环比收缩，收缩幅度达到0.8%。
此外，加拿大的原油和其他管道运输业在5月份实现了环比增长1.5%，这得益于跨山输油管道扩建项目的正式投入商业运作。
加拿大统计局同时对6月份的经济数据进行了初步估算，结果显示实际GDP环比微升0.1%。总体来看，加拿大第二季度经济环比增长0.5%，显示了经济在经历了第一季度的小幅下滑后有所企稳。
专家分析认为，尽管加拿大经济在5月份实现了环比增长，但零售贸易行业的持续下滑以及部分行业面临的维护工作等挑战，仍需引起关注。未来，加拿大政府和企业需要采取措施，以促进经济的持续稳定增长。

TORONTO, Aug. 1 (Xinhua) — Statistics Canada released data on July 31 showing that Canada’s economy grew 0.2 percent month-on-month in May, with the growth primarily driven by the manufacturing sector. The data indicated that the manufacturing sector expanded by 0.4 percent in May, with manufacturing standing out, experiencing a growth rate of about 1.0 percent, which was the main driving force behind the month’s economic growth.
Specifically, both durable and non-durable manufacturing sectors showed growth, with non-durable manufacturing expanding by 1.4 percent month-on-month, marking the largest increase since November last year. This growth was partly due to a 7.3 percent month-on-month increase in the production of oil and coal products by Canadian refineries following maintenance work in April.
However, the Canadian economy in May faced some challenges. The retail trade sector contracted by 0.9 percent, becoming the largest drag on economic growth. The wholesale trade sector also experienced a contraction of 0.8 percent.
Additionally, Canada’s crude oil and other pipeline transportation sector saw a month-on-month increase of 1.5 percent in May, benefiting from the formal commercial operation of the Trans Mountain pipeline expansion project.
Statistics Canada also provided an initial estimate of the economic data for June, showing a minimal increase of 0.1 percent in actual GDP month-on-month. Overall, Canada’s second quarter saw a 0.5 percent increase in GDP over the previous quarter, indicating that the economy has stabilized after a slight decline in the first quarter.
Analysts believe that while Canada’s economy showed a month-on-month increase in May, the ongoing decline in the retail trade sector and challenges faced by some industries, such as maintenance work, warrant attention. In the future, the Canadian government and businesses need to take measures to promote sustained and stable economic growth.
