-
Canada and India have much in
common with well over one million people of Indian
descent calling Canada their home
-
Canada has a strong and growing
economy; is part of a free trade area of more than 450
million people; has an internationally competitive tax
and fiscal regime
-
Canada’s bilateral trade with India
is small-less than 0.5% of Canadian exports are to
India and less than 1% of Canadian imports are from
India. Vast opportunity to increase bilateral trade in
existing commodities and exploring new tradeable
items.
-
India’s share is only 0.5% of
Canada’s FDI outflows, India is 30th largest investor
in Canada, with a share of merely 0.03% in total FDI
flow in Canada.Given the size of both the economies
and the level of development, there is wide scope for
increased two-way FDI flows. Financial services, power
and ICT collectively represent 85% of Canadian
investment in India.
-
Canadian and Indian businesses
could offer complementary strengths in respect to
joint venture projects. For example, India could offer
management, IT support, ICT technology and specialized
equipments, while Canadians could offer strong
expertise in engineering, equipment technology and
environmental
science |
