Trade with Canada
Canada reported a trade surplus until 2009 when the country’s trade balance went negative for the first time in recent history. Its deficit was ignited at the height of the global recession, and the value of exports decreased significantly at that time. It is only now showing signs of a recovery. Meanwhile, while imports decreased during the recession as well, they bounced back faster than exports. Currently, Canada maintains neither a trade deficit nor a trade surplus as both imports and exports amount to around *** billion U.S. dollars worth of goods. Canada is hoping this will continue, and it is looking to lower tariffs on exports in order to further boost the economy and increase exports.
Canada has a long and strong trading relationship with the United States - Canada’s southern neighbor is without a doubt its most important export and import partner. Overall, Canada maintains an export advantage over the United States; maintaining greater export flows than import flows. The U.S. dollar is also worth more than the Canadian dollar, favoring further exports from Canada. China and Mexico also import Canadian goods, but significantly less than the United States.
