Foreign ownership of Canadian corporate assets fell again in 2024 as domestic enterprises outpaced overseas rivals in asset growth, new government data shows.

The foreign-controlled share of total corporate assets in Canada dropped 0.5 percentage points year over year, continuing a trend that has now stretched 14 years, according to Statistics Canada’s annual report under the Corporations Returns Act.

Canadian-controlled enterprises held $16.2 trillion in assets last year, representing 86.1% of the country’s total corporate asset base. Foreign-controlled enterprises accounted for the remaining $2.6 trillion, or 13.9%. Together, all enterprises operating in Canada held $18.8 trillion in combined assets, up 5% from 2023.

The gap widened because Canadian-controlled assets grew 5.6% over the year, while foreign-controlled assets expanded just 1.5%. Since 2010, the foreign-controlled share of assets has fallen by 7.3 percentage points in total.

    I want to applaud the nationalism but Bell, Rogers, and Loblaws exist partially because of this.
