Canada's SMEs are the economy's primary engine, yet they face a massive $300B credit gap.

To boost exports and navigate the AI era, we must turn CETA into a "capital bridge".

@rest_lessSpirit @Payer_IX Power goes before - sign so -5^2 = -(5^2) = -25

[Koen Berden @koenberden]

@rest_lessSpirit Answer is 0. -5^2 is -(5)^2 = -25. This is often confused with (-5)^2 which is 25 but that's not what is written here. So -(5)^2 + 25 = -25 +25 = 0

"If implemented effectively, this Agreement could act as a platform to build trust to enhance industrial cooperation, deepen regulatory dialogues, and promote inclusive growth at the heart of bilateral economic engagement."

🇪🇺🇮🇳 The EU-India FTA is a geopolitical game-changer. Beyond the 100%+ export surge, it is a strategic shield against rising protectionism.

Not just politics, this is pure economic diversification.

Who sets the rules in the Indo-Pacific now? RCEP, CPTPP, EU bilaterals are promoting different regulatory models. In 2016 the Pacific was much more straightforward. Read my @ECIPE Insight on this geopolitical issue: https://t.co/bOEaVeYtvA @Trade_EU

"In the Indo-Pacific, trade agreements have never been just about tariffs. They are vehicles to set standards and rules."
✍️ @koenberden on Indo‑Pacific trade now shaped by competing rulebooks, not one dominant framework.
