Canadian resource companies are choosing to
invest abroad at record levels, amid waning
global interest in the nation’s energy and
mining assets.
Statistics Canada reported Thursday that
Canadian-based energy and mining companies
invested a net C$15.5 billion ($11.5 billion)
outside of the country in the first three months
of 2019. The exodus of Canadian capital from
the sector in the quarter was almost double the
previous quarterly record.
It’s a bad sign for industries already struggling
to attract capital. The data suggest that
Canadian-based resource companies — who
have refrained from large foreign investments
in recent years — may now be seeking
alternatives outside of Canada.
