Canadian investors reduced their holdings of foreign securities by $7.9 billion in November, largely through sales of US instruments. At the same time, foreign acquisitions of Canadian securities slowed to $7.2 billion, following a $15.8 billion investment in October.

As a result, international transactions in securities generated a net inflow of funds of $15.1 billion into the Canadian economy in the month. From January to November, foreign investment in Canadian securities has exceeded Canadian investment in foreign securities by $142.3 billion.
