CANADA - ECONOMIC OVERVIEW
As a high-tech industrial
society in the trillion-dollar class, Canada resembles the US in its
market-oriented economic system, pattern of production, and high living standards.
Since World War II, the impressive growth of the manufacturing, mining, and
service sectors has transformed the nation from a largely rural economy into
one primarily industrial and urban. The 1989 US-Canada Free Trade Agreement
(FTA) and the 1994 North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) (which includes
Mexico) touched off a dramatic increase in trade and economic integration with
the US, its principal trading partner. Canada enjoys a substantial trade
surplus with the US, which absorbs about three-fourths of Canadian merchandise
exports each year. Canada is the US's largest foreign supplier of energy,
including oil, gas, uranium, and electric power. Given its abundant natural
resources, highly skilled labor force, and modern capital plant, Canada enjoyed
solid economic growth from 1993 through 2007. Buffeted by the global economic
crisis, the economy dropped into a sharp recession in the final months of 2008,
and Ottawa posted its first fiscal deficit in 2009 after 12 years of surplus.
Canada's major banks, however, emerged from the financial crisis of 2008-09
among the strongest in the world, owing to the financial sector's tradition of
conservative lending practices and strong capitalization. Canada achieved
marginal growth in 2010-13 and plans to balance the budget by 2015. In
addition, the country's petroleum sector is rapidly expanding, because
Alberta's oil sands significantly boosted Canada's proven oil reserves. Canada
now ranks third in the world in proved oil reserves behind Saudi Arabia and
Venezuela
