Canadian household net worth, the value of all assets minus all liabilities, rose 2.9 per cent in the second quarter of 2026 to eclipse $19 trillion, Statistics Canada reported Sept. 11. The agency attributed the gain to a boon in equity markets that translated into greater household net worth through higher asset valuations.

The agency did not report the prior quarter's level or the dollar figure for the increase, so the size of the quarterly move cannot be compared against an earlier period from the evidence provided.
