Despite a global downturn in outbound FDI from the US, big
businesses still see Canada as a key investment market
According to new research from TMF Group, in association with
Forbes Insights, 50% of US-based multinationals still view Canada
and its neighbours as central to their corporate investment and
growth plans.
The study,
'Venture Further: what drives international
expansion and investment by US businesses?',
canvassed the views of 250 US-based C-Suite Executives to explore
the motivations and challenges of US-headquartered multinationals
in taking their organization into a new international
market. Respondents were drawn from a wide selection
of industries and from organizations with annual revenues ranging
in size from $250 million to over $5 billion. Respondents were
asked into what regions their organizations had invested in the
last two years, as well as where they planned to invest in
2017/18.
