Reviews Foreign Investments in Canada ll!-W53
(OP)-The flow of capital for direct investment in foreign-controlled industries in Canada rose to an all-time high of s.m,ooo,ooo in 1060. Moot of it went inwards expending oil and mining developmenta.
Direct investment is that por- tion at foreign lnvestimenvt aimed at expansion of Canadian branch- as and suinidiaries of companies rooted in other landn.
The bureau of atatistiu. in an annual survey, estimated direct investment from the U.S. in 1953 at :3t)5,000.000, bringing the Am- erican total in Canada to a peak of about 06.000.000.000.
Though lacking complete ncurea. the bureau utirriaud Britain's 1958 lnvestmetnt. was two or three times the 1962 total of 315,000,000, This would boost the U. K. total to about s6M.000.000 or 3645.000,- 000 from esoo.ooo,ooo at the end of 1960.
on Gets In Shore
Almost half of the 1968 total was devoted to expansion of the petroleum industry, including ex- ploration, pipelines and refineries, the bureau said, More than one- quarter went into the mining in- dustry "and related. transporta- tion facilities."
This analysis of foreign invest- ment in Canada formed part of the bureau's annual survey otbal- anoee in international transec- tion.s in goods and services, called the ”current account."
The bureau eetimated that in 1953 Canada had a current ac- count deflclt of 3487,000,000. com- pared with a surplus of 3151000,- 000 in 1952. Main reason for the deficit was that Canada. imported more goods than ahe eixported.
Canadals exports in 1950 drop- pad to s4,152,000,000 from 54,337,- 000.000 in 1962 while her imports increased to 84.207.000.000 from S3.846,000.00o.'
in all Canada's current. account receipts in 1953 totalled 35.515.000.- 000, down from t5,6'l3,000,000 in 1952, while payments rose to 35,- 982.000,000 from 35.5l6,000,000.
This s467.D00.000 dencit in 1053, which compares with a t5l'I,000,- 000 deficit in 1951, was Fiiianred by an import of capital, including long-term direct and portfolio in- vestment.
