Canada signed a new free-trade agreement with Ecuador as part of its broader international trade-diversification strategy.
WHY IT MATTERS:
Canada is actively expanding commercial relationships outside the United States.
As additional markets become easier for Canadian businesses to access, digital market-entry technologies become increasingly valuable.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Monitor new Canadian trade agreements and trade missions for countries with substantial housing development, furniture, building-products and interior-design markets.
