FX.co ★ Foreign Investment in Canada Rises to April 2024 High

In September 2025, foreign investors significantly expanded their portfolios of Canadian securities, adding C$31.32 billion, a notable increase from the revised C$23.6 billion recorded in August. This marks the most substantial investment since April 2024. The increase was primarily driven by a C$28.7 billion net growth in debt securities, particularly within money market instruments, which accounted for C$8.5 billion. This development followed the Bank of Canada's decision to lower its policy interest rate to 2.50% in September. Additionally, there was a C$20.1 billion rise in net bond holdings. Equity investments in Canadian firms also saw a rise of C$2.7 billion, reflecting upward trends in the benchmark TSX indices during the same period. Concurrently, Canadian investors increased their investments in foreign financial assets by $22.1 billion.
