Export Development Canada (EDC), Canada’s export credit agency, has signed a memorandum of understanding with the Export-Import Bank of Thailand (EXIM Thailand) to advance bilateral investment and increase trade and cooperation between the two nations and the broader Asia Pacific region.<\/p>\n
The agreement helps to establish a framework for collaboration between the two organisations to support projects in both countries and across Asia-Pacific, while enhancing cooperation in sectors of mutual interest.<\/p>\n
Alison Nankivell, president and CEO of EDC, said: “This partnership is particularly important in bolstering sectors such as clean technology, infrastructure and digital industries, where Canadian expertise can drive sustainable growth in Thailand and the broader region.”<\/p>\n
Charat Rattanaboonniti, president of EXIM Thailand, said through this collaboration, Thailand could enhance access to financing, foster business connections and unlock opportunities for both Thai and Canadian companies across Asia-Pacific.<\/p>\n
Collaboration would focus on priority sectors including agri-food, clean technologies and energy transition, digital industries, advanced manufacturing and critical minerals.<\/p>\n
The agreement also enables knowledge sharing on sustainability practices, risk management and sustainable finance.<\/p>\n
In 2025, bilateral merchandise trade between Canada and Thailand reached approximately CA$7.4 billion with opportunities continuing to grow in areas such as agri-food, infrastructure, advanced manufacturing, clean technology and digital industries.<\/p>\n
Canadian exports to Thailand reached CA$1.14 billion in 2025, a cumulative average growth rate of over 7% from 2020 to 2025.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"PUBLISHED : 6 Jul 2026 at 07:01 Export Development Canada (EDC), Canada’s export credit agency, has signed a…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":117730,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[40152,30791,17,40151,39442,3147,40153,40150,40149],"class_list":["post-117729","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-canada","tag-asia-pacific-business-cooperation","tag-bilateral-trade-agreement","tag-canada","tag-clean-technology-investment","tag-exim-thailand","tag-export-development-canada","tag-infrastructure-development","tag-sustainable-finance","tag-thailand-canada-trade"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/117729","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=117729"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/117729\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/117730"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=117729"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=117729"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=117729"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
