OTTAWA, Oct 23 (Reuters) – Canadian factory sales most likely rose 2.8% in September from August, largely driven by higher sales in the transportation equipment and petroleum and coal subsectors, Statistics Canada said in a flash estimate on Thursday.
The estimate was calculated based on a weighted response rate of 67.7%.
The average weighted response rate for the survey over the previous 12 months has been 92.9%.
