Canada–Chile Free Trade Agreement (CCFTA) is a trade agreement between Canada and Chile. It was signed on December 5, 1996 in Santiago, Chile and came into effect on July 5, 1997. Tariffs on 75 percent of bilateral trade were immediately eliminated.〔()〕 It was Canada's first free trade agreement with a Latin American nation (other than Mexico), and was Chile's first full free trade agreement. Over the first decade, trade between Canada and Chile increased more than 300%, with the trade of goods rising from $718 million in 1996 to $2.7 billion in 2010. Bilateral service trade increased to $164 million by 2005. Canadian investments in Chile reached $13.3 billion in 2010, and Canada has been the largerst source of new investment in Chile.〔()〕 In 2012, Canadian prime minister Stephen Harper and Chilean president Sebastian Piñera announced the expansion to the CCFTA, with a financial services chapter in which Canadian financial institutions will enjoy preferential access to the Chilean market and can compete on a level playing field vis-à-vis their competitors. This financial services chapter came into effect in October 2013.〔()〕 Chile has also been one of the main supporter to Canada's bid to join talks on the Trans-Pacific Partnership or TPP. ==History of trade balances== 〔https://www.ic.gc.ca/app/scr/tdst/tdo/crtr.html?naArea=9999&searchType=All&hSelectedCodes=%7C170220&productType=HS6&reportType=TB&timePeriod=5%7CComplete+Years¤cy=CDN&toFromCountry=CDN&countryList=specific&areaCodes=755&grouped=GROUPED&runReport=true〕 Amounts in millions of Canadian dollars. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Canada–Chile Free Trade Agreement」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
