Average Canadian Household Net Worth
Net Worth = Total Assets – Total Debt
The wealth of Canadians (i.e. household net worth) has ceased growing. After 4 years of steady growth, average household net worth has declined for 2 consecutive years starting in 2007.
Much of the wealth loss happened in the last quarter of 2008. After reaching a high in Q2’08, average household net worth dropped by 4% over the next two quarters.

Average Household Debt Average Household Income
Over the past 10 years, Canadians have accumulated debt at a higher rate than income growth. Average household debt has increased by 44% over the past 10 years whereas household income grew by only 28% over the same period.
The percentage of Canadians who are Heavy Borrowers is increasing. This suggests that the increase in overall consumer debt is being driven by Heavy Borrowers.

14Canadian Financial Monitor
The information in this report primarily comes from Ipsos Canada’s Canadian Financial Monitor.
The Canadian Financial Monitor (CFM) was launched in 1999 to address a market need for an all encompassing study to track the ongoing financial health, product holdings, banking habits, household expenditures and attitudes of Canadians.
Results for CFM are collected from a large sample of 12,000 representative Canadian households.
Information is collected on a monthly basis using a mail diary.
CFM captures a wide array of products including Chequing, Savings, GICs, Bonds, Stocks, Mutual Funds, Credit Cards, Mortgages, Loans, Lines of Credit, Life Insurance, Car and Home Insurance and Specialty Insurance.
The channel usage habits (i.e. Online, Phone, ABM, Teller), attitudes and sentiments of Canadians are also monitored.
