2022/2023 data updates
Due to adoption of new accounting standards (PS3450, PS1201, PS2601), Section 09 - Loans, Investments and Advances of Volume I of the Public Accounts of Canada have been restructured as follows:
The elements "Portion expensed due to concessionary terms", "Portion expensed due to concessionary terms and other discounts" (under SUB-SUB-SECTION), and "Unamortized discounts and premiums" (under SUB-SECTION) have been netted out against their respective loans. Therefore, opening balances (see column TYPE_EN) for these loans have been reclassified to conform to the current year’s presentation.
The element "Other loans, investments and advances" under SEGMENT has been renamed to "Other loans and advances".
The element "Allowance for valuation" (under SUB-SUB-SECTION) has now been added to each respective SEGMENT ("Portfolio investments", "Capital subscriptions", "Other loans and advances").
The element "Consolidation adjustment", under SUB-SUB-SECTION, (which used to be associated with the SEGMENT "Other loans, investments and advances" only) has now been allocated under SEGMENT "Portfolio investments" and "Other loans and advances" and presented by Consolidated Crown Corporation (see details under SUB-SECTION).
The elements "National governments including developing countries" and "International organizations" have been integrated into one SEGMENT: "Other loans and advances".
The element "Capital subscriptions" (under SECTION) has been renamed to "International organizations".
The elements "Provincial and territorial governments" (under header SEGMENT) have been integrated into the entry "Other loans and advances" under SECTION "Other" as they are no longer reported on a provincial basis and are now presented as one summary for all provinces.
