– Canada is on the verge of economic standstill following the Kingdom’s freezing of all new commercial deals and investments. This swift Saudi action, it cannot ignore, as it is likely to have a major impact.

Economists expect Canada to falter in exporting products worth SR4.04 billion, especially automobiles, spare parts, machinery tools, equipment, electrical equipment and machinery, pharmaceutical products and raw minerals.

According to a report issued by the General Authority for Statistics (Gastat), which Okaz went through, the largest portion of Canadian exports to the Kingdom was automobiles and their spare parts at a cost of SR1.55 billion.

These form 38.39 percent of the total exports.
