加拿大政府推行预算新规刺激投资

Core Viewpoint - The Canadian government is implementing a significant reform in its national budget preparation by introducing a new "capital budget framework" to address the challenges of stagnant business investment in the country [1]. Group 1: Capital Budget Framework - The "capital budget framework" will clearly distinguish between the government's "operating expenditures" and "capital investment expenditures" aimed at stimulating capital formation in both public and private sectors [1]. - Capital investment expenditures are defined as any government spending or tax incentives that contribute to capital formation, including transfers for infrastructure construction, tax incentives for corporate capital formation, amortization costs of federal assets, funding for corporate R&D and commercialization, subsidies to attract large-scale private investments, and measures to accelerate housing supply [1]. Group 2: Investment Trends - Since 2015, Canada's investment levels have nearly stagnated, particularly in areas such as intellectual property, advanced technology, and modern manufacturing, with Canada lagging behind several other countries in investment concentration [1].
