Canada's balance of international payments, fourth quarter 2004
Canada's current account surplus with the rest of the world declined $2.1 billion in the fourth quarter to $6.3 billion on a seasonally adjusted basis. In the capital and financial account (not seasonally adjusted), growth in Canada's foreign assets outpaced that in international liabilities.

Financial statistics for enterprises, 2004 and fourth quarter 2004 
Canadian corporations earned record high operating profits of $204.5 billion in 2004, up 18.8% over 2003 levels. The 2004 profit growth was the strongest since 2000, largely due to significant gains in the first two quarters of the year. On a quarterly basis, fourth quarter profits increased 2.4% to 52.9 billion following little change in the third quarter.
