The share of assets owned by foreign-controlled enterprises has steadily declined since 2007. This trend continued in 2022, with the foreign-controlled share of assets decreasing by 0.2 percentage points from a year earlier. The decline was mostly due to Canadian-controlled enterprise assets growing at a faster pace than those for foreign-controlled enterprises.
Today, Statistics Canada is releasing an annual report, titled "Corporations Returns Act, 2022," which provides information on the degree of foreign control in the Canadian economy for 2022.
Consult the "Foreign control in the Canadian economy: Visualization tool" for a comprehensive overview of the annual changes in the foreign control of the Canadian corporate economy.
