Canada's international transactions in securities, October 2006
October saw heavy investment of $6.8 billion in foreign securities by Canadians, a continuation of a trend dating back to February 2005. Meanwhile, foreign investors reduced their holdings of Canadian securities by $5.0 billion in October, dominated by a large foreign takeover of a Canadian company whose foreign portfolio shareholders exchanged their shares for cash.

Leading indicators, November 2006
The composite leading index rose 0.5% in November, nearly double its upward-revised gain in October. This is the strongest sign yet that the recent slowdown in growth should not be prolonged.
