Foreign Investment In The United States plunged 32% In 2017
FYI: Foreign investors spent $259.6 billion to acquire, launch, and expand businesses in the United States in 2017, according to numbers released Wednesday by the US Bureau of Economic Analysis. That's down from an historic high of $439.5 billion in 2015. Regards, Ted https://money.cnn.com/2018/07/11/news/economy/foreign-direct-investment-2017/index.html
Canada has since forever had rules limiting foreign investment/ownership. I forget which Cabinet brief that job belongs to. What I recall is a 45% limit from outside Canada in any given entity. See "Limits On Foreign Control..." https://www.export.gov/article?id=Canada-Openness-to-Foreign-Investment ...But as for individual, private investors, and even would-be tourists: what I've seen and heard from my recent visit is that Canadians are looking elsewhere, until the Unprincipled Clown In Chief is gone.
Where can we get foreign investments in US stock market. Good to know if when International markets were crashing earlier this year as $ went up, what they were doing with their money.
