The largest manufacturing industries are: food and beverages; transportation equipment; pulp and paper; primary metals; metal fabrication; wood products; chemicals; and mineral fuels.

Canada actively participates in international trading. The United States is Canada’s largest trading partner followed by Japan, the United Kingdom and Germany. The signing of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) in 1947, and more recently, the Free Trade Agreement in 1989, has helped encourage the evolving trade relationship, between Canada and the U.S. Then, by including Mexico in the 1992 signing of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), Canada has become an integral component of the largest free trade area in the world, with over 360 million consumers. Canada takes part in a number of international trade, financial and economic organizations, such as the World Bank, the World Trade Organization, the International Monetary Fund, the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development, the Financial Task Force on Money Laundering and others. Canada also takes part in the G-7 and the G-20.
