The Economy of Canada
Canada is one of the wealthiest nations in the world with highly developed manufacturing, mining, and service sectors. The economy is mainly driven by international trade, particularly with the US, which is its most important trading partner.
Canada is one of the world's most important suppliers of agricultural products and the world's largest producer of zinc and uranium. It also a world leader in many other natural resources such as gold, nickel, aluminum, and lead.
Canada is the US's largest foreign supplier of energy, including oil, gas, uranium, and electric power.
In fact, Canada resembles the US in many ways economically—high-tech industrial society, market-oriented economic system and pattern of production. Rich natural resources and a skilled labour force bode well for its economy in the future as well.
The currency of Canada is the Canadian Dollar.
