Foreign Securities Purchases by Canadians reflect the total value of shares, bonds and other assets issued outside of Canada and purchased by Canadian residents.

The indicator growth may weaken the Canadian dollar, because Canada residents need to exchange CAD to foreign currency in order to pay for foreign securities.
