Understanding the Canadian international merchandise trade balance
In the context of discussions on Canada's trade balance, different statistics can be referenced. Understanding the key concepts and uses for each basis can help determine which statistic may be most appropriate to use given the objectives of individual data users. Additionally, while it might be assumed that the trade statistics of one country should match the trade statistics of another for bilateral trade between the two, this is not usually the case, with the key factor being the attribution of countries in international merchandise trade statistics.
