Which economist – Carney?
>Canadians moved a record amount of money into foreign assets in February, causing more money to leave the country than foreign investors brought in.
But it’s not a cause for concern yet, says one economist.
Canadian investment in foreign securities hit its highest level in nearly two years at[ $25.4 billion, according to Statistics Canada, ](https://www150.statcan.gc.ca/n1/daily-quotidien/260417/dq260417a-eng.htm)significantly outweighing the $6.2 billion that foreign investors put into Canadian assets.
They spent a record $32.9 billion on foreign stocks, specifically large U.S. tech firms.
…Foreign investment in Canadian securities slowed to $6.2 billion in February, a significant decrease from the $46.8 billion recorded in January, [according to Statistics Canada.](https://www150.statcan.gc.ca/n1/daily-quotidien/260417/dq260417a-eng.htm)
While acquisitions of $22.6 billion in bonds continued, they were moderated by divestments of $9.2 billion in shares and $7.3 billion in money market instruments.
Thankfully Canada just had it’s highest year for Foreign Direct Investment since 2015, has the strongest fiscal strength according to the IMF, and has options to improve FDI going forward.
Edit: also 2025 was the first time since 2015 where FDI inflows exceeded outflows.
Edit 2: TD says 2025 has the highest FDI inflows since 2007. They also say the UK was a big reason why, so those trips may be paying off
Sounds like something Mark Carney supporters would say.
Not really surprising this is people buying S&P500 and NASDAQ ETFs and MAG7 stocks which have outpaced any Canadian equivalents for returns
We should also be discussing how much money leaves Canada from corporate outsourcing and TFW’s sending money home…
The purpose of investing is to make more money than you invested. Foreign money coming into Canada sounds good for the first 5 to 10 years until you realize that it turns into a giant suck of money out of the country after that. If Canadians can’t invest in ourselves then we deserve to be serfs on our own land.
I’ve noticed an interesting trend, ever since around the late 2000s-early 2010s, Canadian FDI has surged in a peculiar collection of small, usually island nations such as (all figures are in millions of dollars):
Barbados ($33,438 in 2007, $120,562 in 2024), Bermuda ($13,252 in 2007, $142,375 in 2024), Cayman Islands ($19,863 in 2007, $87,247 in 2024), and Jersey ($66 in 2012 which is the earliest data point, $30,281 in 2024).
….yet
So Canadians owning a lot of US assets and receiving the upside? Doesn’t sound horrible.
But it’s not a red flag yet? So will it be?
They say anything to deflect issues.
Thats why big carn and the boys moved brooksfield to the states eh. Cant blame em eh

Well of course, we’re just following in the footsteps of our leader.
