Canada’s international investment position, first quarter 2015
Canada’s net international investment position increased by $87.2 billion in the first quarter to a record net asset position of $224.3 billion, despite an expanded balance of payments current account deficit. This growth was mainly explained by the larger revaluation effect of a weaker Canadian dollar on international assets than liabilities.

Industrial capacity utilization rates, first quarter 2015
Canadian industries operated at 82.7% of their production capacity in the first quarter, down from 83.5% in the previous quarter. It was the largest decline since the second quarter of 2009.
