British Columbia and Mexico
Mexico has a rapidly developing economy and has experienced a growth of imports and exports in recent years. The country possesses one of the most open markets globally and holds 13 free-trade agreements that span 50 countries. B.C. and Mexico maintain strong economic ties through the CUSMA and CPTPP trade agreements, acting as an underlying foundation for trade. B.C. maintains an economic presence in Mexico through the support of ten Canadian Embassies and Consulates and three Trade Commissioner Offices.
Trade & Investment Highlights
