07:59 AM EDT, 09/03/2025 (MT Newswires) -- Canada is slated to release Q2 labor productivity at 8:30 a.m. ET on Wednesday, said Bank of Montreal (BMO).

Labor productivity is expected to fall 1.1% in Q2 following a 0.2% gain in the prior quarter, noted the bank.

Productivity remains lackluster compared with other G7 nations, thanks to regulatory barriers, weak capital spending and low innovation, added BMO.
