International Investors Are Big Buyers of Canadian Dollar Bonds, Says BMO

BY MT Newswires | CORPORATE | 06:26 AM EDT

06:26 AM EDT, 06/17/2026 (MT Newswires) -- International investors were big net buyers of Canadian securities in April to the tune of $46.9 billion, said Bank of Montreal (BMO).

That's among the larger inflows over the past few years, noted the bank.

Buying was focused in federal and provincial government debt, as well as corporate bonds, pointed out BMO. Equities saw a decent inflow too, while money markets had an outflow.

The net inflow to federal government bonds was a record $27.7 billion in the month, while provincial bonds were just short of a record at $10.6 billion.

Notably, April's net inflow to Canadian dollar-denominated bonds

was a record $36.2 billion, added the bank. And that's before the recent "huge" issues from Google and Amazon.

In general the bond market is volatile, and fixed income securities carry interest rate risk. (As interest rates rise, bond prices usually fall, and vice versa. This effect is usually more pronounced for longer-term securities.) Fixed income securities also carry inflation risk and credit and default risks for both issuers and counterparties. Unlike individual bonds, most bond funds do not have a maturity date, so avoiding losses caused by price volatility by holding them until maturity is not possible.

Lower-quality debt securities generally offer higher yields, but also involve greater risk of default or price changes due to potential changes in the credit quality of the issuer. Any fixed income security sold or redeemed prior to maturity may be subject to loss.
