- Since signing the Canada-Korea Free Trade Agreement—Canada’s first free trade agreement with an Asia-Pacific nation—bilateral trade has been increasing.
- In 2022, Canadian companies exported $8.6 billion of merchandise to Korea and EDC believes conditions are right for this number to grow.
- The new EDC representation in South Korea is another step forward in expanding Canada’s trade network and in making resources available to exporters seeking to reach new customers in the Indo-Pacific region."
