Canada's balance of international payments, second quarter 2008 
The current account surplus with the rest of the world (on a seasonally adjusted basis) expanded further in the second quarter of 2008, led by higher prices for several exported commodities. In the financial account, Canadian investors continued to shy away from foreign debt instruments in favour of equity, while there was strong foreign demand for Canadian bonds.
