This first release of the quarterly national balance sheet accounts (June 24, 2003) is part of a joint effort with Canada's international investment position (released quarterly for the first time on June 17, 2003) to provide users with more up to date and meaningful data.

The series, provided quarterly back to 1990, are available on CANSIM. Existing annual data continue to be available on CANSIM. Please see the following CANSIM tables: 378-0003 to 378-0007.

This release is part of a multi-year plan:

With this release, the new quarterly positions remain at book value, as in the past annual releases.
In the second year of the project market value estimates for financial assets and liabilities will be available, along with the book value series, in both the international investment positions and the national balance sheet accounts.

The National balance sheet accounts (catalogue no. 13-214-XIE, 13-214-XDB and 13-214-DDB) will be available at the time of the release.

The level of detail of the quarterly positions is the same for the national balance sheet accounts and the main table of the international investment positions.
