Canadian investors purchased a record amount of foreign securities, totaling C$29.4 billion ($21.8 billion), in December of last year. This marks the largest net outflow of purchases into foreign stocks and bonds since 1988.

Amazon economists Francesco Furno and Domenico Giannone have developed a new model to identify recessions in real-time.

Their method is designed to be more timely than official indicators, which often declare a recession months after it has begun. [Extracted from the article]
