18 March 2026, 17:37 Canada: Strong Foreign Investment Inflow in January.
Foreign investors purchased C$46.7 billion of Canadian securities in January 2026, rebounding from a C$5.8 billion disinvestment in December. The rebound was led by record foreign investment in Canadian bonds of C$51.3 billion, which was partially offset by a C$10.2 billion divestment in money market instruments. Foreign bond purchases were driven by unprecedented corporate bond investment of C$31.5 billion, largely from new euro-denominated issuances by chartered banks. Federal government bonds attracted C$12.9 billion in foreign investment following record C$33.6 billion inflows in Q4 2025. Provincial bonds saw C$6.8 billion in foreign purchases, the highest since May 2025. Foreign investors also increased Canadian equity holdings by C$5.7 billion. Non-resident investors continued reducing money market exposure with a C$10.2 billion divestment.
