Canada's balance of international payments, fourth quarter 2009
The current account deficit on transactions with the rest of the world narrowed to $9.8 billion in the fourth quarter of 2009 (on a seasonally adjusted basis), largely reflecting an energy-led increase in exports of goods. Cross-border financial transactions (unadjusted for seasonal variation) continued to generate large inflows of funds, with foreign acquisitions of Canadian bonds again dominating in the quarter to cap a year of unprecedented foreign investment in Canadian securities.
Private and public investment, 2010
Investment in non-residential construction and machinery and equipment in 2010 is expected to increase 5.3% from 2009 to $239.9 billion on a current dollar basis. Due to the sizeable decline in 2009, it will still be below the 2008 level. Capital spending by the public sector, particularly the public administration, will account for nearly two-thirds of the increase.
