What it does

This Program provides analysis, research and advice to ministers and senior government officials so that they can make informed decisions on the Government of Canada’s international trade and finance policy agenda. The Program develops and implements policies on trade and tariffs, international development assistance and finance, and global macroeconomic coordination in order to foster sustainable international and domestic economic growth. The Program also manages the Department of Finance Canada’s participation in: (1) trade and international financial institutions, such as the International Monetary Fund, the World Trade Organization and the World Bank; regional multilateral development banks, such as the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development; (2) international economic coordination groups, such as the G7, the G20 and the Asia-Pacific Economic Co-operation forum; and, (3) International trade negotiations and initiatives.
