Canadian economy has some advantages ? Margaret Skok

ALMATY. February 19. KAZINFORM /Aigul Turysbekova/ Canada began to diversify the economy and extend cooperation with countries of Europe, South America, China and Australia 20 years ago. And it is an advantage of our economy, but we can not keep out of the global economic processes. Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary Ambassador of Canada to Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan Margaret Skok has said to a Kazinform correspondent.

According to the diplomat, the world economic crisis influences all countries of the world. There is no harmful news on Canadian economic slowdown in the world mass media because of some reasons. ?Our government accomplished a great feat 20 years ago, starting to redeem credits and foreign debts of the country. They decreased every year. More taxes and income were spent for the country?s economy financing?, she emphasized. The second factor is that Canada strictly regulates activity of financial institutions and banks. ?These factors help our country in the world financial crisis. But the automobile industry, which has many external links, undergoes some difficulties as in the whole world?, M.Skok noted. Despite the world financial crisis, Canada will hold the Winter Olympic Games in 2010 in Vancouver. The diplomat noted that Canada is ready to share experience of holding international competitions with Kazakhstan. ?Agreement on a visit of a delegation of the Organizational Committee of the Asian Games-2011 to Canada for studying experience has already been reached?, the Ambassador said.
