Destino Canadá: visión general y perspectivas del país

Resumen

Canadá es un país de gran extensión, muy rico en recursos naturales (madera, petróleo, gas y minerales), con un sector agrícola potente centrado en el cultivo de cosechas y con un desarrollo industrial elevado, destacando los sectores de automoción, aeronáutica, alimentación o telecomunicaciones.

Dada su orientación al exterior, su política comercial ha venido marcada por la búsqueda de reglas claras y estables tanto a nivel multilateral como bilateral, lo que se ha traducido en la firma de numerosos acuerdos comerciales, entre ellos con la Unión Europea. Estos últimos no han logrado reducir la significativa dependencia que mantiene con EE. UU.

A pesar de haberse visto fuertemente afectado por la crisis derivada de la COVID-19, las perspectivas económicas de Canadá son favorables, sobre todo, en la medida en que haga frente a sus principales desafíos: el avance hacia un mercado interior único, el impulso de la competencia, la transición energética o la mejora de sus infraestructuras.
