The forecast for Canada's mining and quarrying outward FDI stocks suggests a gradual decline from 2024 to 2028, with values dropping from 132.57 billion USD in 2024 to 129.86 billion USD in 2028. This indicates a steady decrease in foreign investment in this sector, reflecting possible shifts in global market dynamics or a strategic reallocation of investment priorities by Canadian companies. The year-on-year percentage variation remains negative, demonstrating consistent contraction.

Future trends to watch for include:

Potential impacts of global economic conditions on FDI.
Shifts in regulatory or environmental policies influencing investment decisions.
Technological advancements altering the mining landscape.
Changes in commodity prices affecting sector profitability.
