摘要：Canada¡¯s net external liabilities declined by 8.4% from the previous quarter and represented a record low 10.9% of
gross domestic product (GDP).
Net external liabilities (the difference between Canada¡¯s external assets and foreign liabilities) reached $154.3 billion
at the end of the first quarter, down $14.2 billion from the end of 2005.
The value of international assets totalled $1,053.0 billion, up 3.6% from the previous quarter. Gains in direct
investment abroad and holdings of foreign bonds explained a large portion of this increase.
