International Business Focus
Growth of Canadian Direct Investment Abroad (1997 to 2006)
Another reflection of Canada's international business focus is the phenomenal growth in Canadian direct investment abroad during the last decade.
In the period 1997 to 2006 the stock of Canadian-owned assets abroad more than doubled in recognition of the growing globalization and integration of the world economy.
