Canada's net foreign asset position increased by $619.2 billion to reach $1,945.5 billion at the end of the second quarter, Statistics Canada reported Sept. 10.

The net foreign asset position is the difference between Canada's international financial assets and its international liabilities, according to the agency.

The agency did not publish a prior-quarter figure for the net foreign asset position in the release, so the size of the increase relative to the first quarter cannot be established from this evidence.
