OTTAWA — Statistics Canada says real gross domestic product edged down 0.1 per cent in April as the manufacturing sector slowed.

The agency also says its advance estimate for May points to another 0.1 per cent decline for that month.

The pullback in April came as goods-producing industries fell 0.6 per cent, with manufacturing accounting for nearly all the decline.

The manufacturing sector was down 1.9 per cent in April, the largest drop since April 2021.
