Canada’s push to diversify trade away from U.S. seeing mixed results: report
A report from the Canadian Chamber of Commerce highlights mixed results in Canada's efforts to diversify trade away from the U.S. Some cities, including Calgary and Ottawa-Gatineau, have seen significant increases in non-U.S. exports, while others, particularly in Ontario, continue to struggle. The findings indicate a growing divergence in trade performance across Canadian regions, with some cities successfully expanding into global markets and others remaining heavily reliant on U.S. demand.
- ▪Calgary and Ottawa-Gatineau reported the largest increases in exports to non-U.S. markets, at 64.67% and 64.04% respectively.
- ▪Overall, non-U.S. exports increased by 16.8% across Canada, but many cities did not see similar gains.
- ▪Manufacturing regions in Ontario are facing economic stress due to their heavy reliance on the U.S. market.
