Globally, trade tensions, tariffs and uncertainty among many economies led to weaker economic growth and a slight slowdown in merchandise trade growth last year. However, in the midst of all this turbulence, Canada’s exports and imports both rose in 2018, with the total value of trade in goods and services reaching a record high of $1.5 trillion.

More trade and investment means more economic growth and good-paying jobs to help further strengthen Canada’s middle class. While Canadian investment flows abroad fell, total inflows of foreign direct investment into Canada increased by 70% to $55 billion.

This year’s State of Trade Report reflects our government’s efforts to expand and diversify Canada’s trade and investment and build bridges to dynamic markets. While the United States continues to be our most important trading partner, trade with other countries grew at a quicker pace. This bodes well for expanding global partnerships.

Canada currently has 14 free trade agreements in force with 51 countries, totalling a combined gross domestic product of US$52 trillion. When the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP) came into force at the end of last year, Canada became the only G7 country with free trade links to all of the other partners.  

Our approach is to ensure that increased trade and investment and our trade diversification strategy support meaningful and sustainable growth for Canadian citizens, businesses and communities.ompany policies, executive profiles, company awards/distinctions, office locations, shareholder reports, whitepapers, media mentions and other pieces of content that don’t fit into a shorter, more succinct space.
