Balance of Payments Deficit for Canada in 1972
Statistics Canada reports a 1972 international balance of payments deficit of 584 million dollars, reversing 1971’s 400 million surplus. The drop stems mainly from a fall of over 900 million in exports. imports grew 60 percent faster than exports as domestic activity stayed buoyant. Overseas demand lagged, and the first half of 1972 was hardest, with a turn-around emerging in late year.
