Doug Henwood asked, >What are the FoF accounts for Canada & other countries like? All I know about the Canadian FoF's is that they're not free. You can download a time series (1961-1998) for a single category for $3 from Stats Canada. Next time I'm down at the StatsCan library, I'll have a peek. When a Canadian finance minister has an important announcement to make, he flies to New York to make it. That might give a good indication of what the decisive element is in the Canadian flow of funds.
