Canada rises massively in apparel imports value during Q1’ 18
Canada witnessed a massive rise( 25.52 %) in its apparel import in the first quarter of 2018. Not just apparels, Canada felt the shivers of higher than usual import levels in other categories too which further resulted in widened trade deficit. During the period, the deficit was more than double of what analysts had forecast earlier. However, with CPTPP and CETA, Canada is predicting a better year ahead as far as trade with partner countries is concerned that might reduce the gap of deficit in the further months.
