Foreign Securities Purchase shows the total of shares, bonds and other assets issued in Canada and purchased by foreigners.

The indicator characterizes the foreign economic activity of Canadian enterprises and government. Reading growth is seen as positive for the Canadian dollar quotes, as foreigners need to buy CAD in order to pay for securities.
