Canadian wholesale sales climbed in January as higher receipts from computer and communications equipment countered declines in motor vehicles and parts.
Sales rose 0.8 percent to C$50.0 billion ($44.7 billion), Statistics Canada said today in Ottawa, matching the median forecast in a Bloomberg survey with 13 responses. The agency revised the December decline to 1.3 percent, from 1.4 percent initially.
