The indicator monitors transactions between Canadian and foreign nationals, allocated respectively between the current account, the capital account and financial account. Transactions represent changes in the total value of transfers between Canadian and foreign market units, from Canadian perspective. They can be in the form of goods, services, investment income and other financial sources. Transactions are recorded using a dual accounting system that automatically takes into account all of them. The double effect is in the determination of the sender and the recipient of each transfer. The minus sign is used to import transactions or outflow of capital abroad, which increased assets abroad. With plus sign is marked exports or capital investments, which are carried out by foreign economic units.
Statistics Canada will release an official report at 12:30 GMT. In case, the nation’s deficit narrowed more than expected, this would boost loonie’s demand.
