Building permits, March 2008
Construction intentions in Canada continued to cool. As a result of a marked decline in Alberta, the total value of building permits in Canada dropped 4.5% in March to $5.6 billion. This was the fourth decrease in five months. Both residential and non-residential sectors declined in March.
Foreign direct investment, 2007
The stock of foreign direct investment in Canada recorded the largest gain in eight years, led by a continued wave of acquisitions by foreign investors, particularly in resource-based industries. At the same time, Canadian direct investment assets declined despite strong Canadian corporate investment flows in 2007, while the rise in the Canadian dollar against major foreign currencies resulted in a decrease in Canadian dollar direct investment holdings by year-end.
