FX.co ★ Foreign Investment in Canada Rises to 10-Month High

In July 2025, foreign investors significantly boosted their holdings of Canadian securities by C$26.7 billion. This marked a substantial increase from the revised C$1 billion recorded in the previous month and represented the most significant net investment since September 2024. The rise was largely driven by a C$14.8 billion net increase in debt securities, predominantly through money market instruments, which accounted for C$11.1 billion, as the Bank of Canada maintained its interest rates. Additionally, net holdings of bonds increased by C$3.7 billion. During the same period, equity holdings in Canadian companies saw an increase of C$11.8 billion, which was in line with the record-high levels of the TSX benchmark indices. Conversely, Canadian investors augmented their foreign financial asset holdings by $17.4 billion.
