China Institute Launched the China-Canada Investment Tracker

Communications - 13 November 2014

On November 13, the China Institute at the University of Alberta (CIUA) launched the China-Canada Investment Tracker, an online interactive visualization, as part of an ongoing project to study Chinese investments in Canada and around the world.

Users are able to view the value and number of investment deals by year, province, and sector. A breakdown of the value of deals per year by ownership status of the acquiring company (e.g. state-owned, private) is also provided.

As China's global outward investment has grown in significance over the past two decades, there has been intense interest in understanding the overall picture and trends of Chinese investment in Canada. The China-Canada Investment Tracker represents the most comprehensive database of Chinese investments in Canada to date. We are confident that this information will be of value to government, industry, and researchers.
