OTTAWA, Feb 28 (Reuters) - Canada's economy was flat on an
annualized basis in the fourth quarter, well below analysts'
expectations, driven by slower inventory accumulations and
declines in business investment in machinery and equipment,
Statistics Canada data showed on Tuesday.
December's real GDP fell by 0.1% over November, also below
expectations, while January's GDP likely increased by 0.3%,
Statscan said in a flash estimate.
