It attributes this to large capital inflows in 1950–51 and an improving current account, with Canada moving toward balance this year while overseas trade surpluses grow. The report warns against overreliance on a continued strong dollar, noting deficits with the United States persist and world price weaknesses in pulp, lumber, lead, and zinc may temper gains.
