Russia

Canada has a well established trade relationship with Russia and the activities of Canadian firms are growing at a fast pace. Business opportunities exist across a wide range of sectors that match Canadian capabilities. EDC sees excellent export and investment opportunities for Canadian companies in the following sectors: agricultural and agri-food products; agricultural equipment; forestry equipment; oil and gas equipment and services; mining equipment and services; transportation, and information and communication technologies. In addition to these, EDC will look at transactions in any sector in which Canadian companies have found opportunities.

With representation in Moscow covering the countries of the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS), EDC is actively providing on-the-ground support to Canadian companies doing business in Russia. EDC has developed relationships with leading Russian financial institutions and major Russian buyers in key industry sectors in order to open doors to Canadian companies. EDC can also help Canadian investors mitigate country risk through its various political risk insurance products.
