Description

Ireland and Canada have  a thriving business relationship and many similarities.

In 2022, Canada was the world’s eighth-largest economy,
with GDP estimated at just over €2 trillion. Ireland’s GDP was estimated at €503 billion in 2022

Canada is a large trading nation and is characterised as
a highly globalised economy. Ireland is also a heavily globalised economy, with strong trading links with the rest of the world.

Canada has a population of 37.4 million people; Ireland has a population of 5.1 million people.

The 2023 Global Competitiveness Index, published by the International Institute for Management Development (IMD), named Ireland as the second most competitive economy among 64 nations surveyed (up from 11th in 2022). Canada was positioned in 15th place in the same survey.

Both countries now have diverse and modern economies today.

So, what are the opportunities for trade between these two nations?
