Canada’s Natural Resource Wealth: Interactive tool

The data on natural wealth reflects reserves of energy, selected minerals and timber.

Note to Readers

The estimates are based on the United Nations System of Environmental-Economic Accounting (SEEA) guidelines and are closely linked to the System of National Accounts (SNA 2008). For more information, refer to the Methodological guide Canadian System of Environmental-Economic Accounting and Canadian System of Environmental-Economic Accounts - Natural Resource Asset Accounts survey page.

The annual estimates provide resource details and complement the natural resource wealth estimates in the quarterly NBSA found in table 36-10-0580-01.

Additional information on the treatment of natural resource wealth in the NBSA is available in the article "Natural resource wealth statistics in the National Balance Sheet Accounts".
