CanExport for businesses (SMEs) :
Leverage French government procurement under CETA with CanExport
With a total volume of 71 billion euros (105 billion Canadian dollars) in 2020, public procurement in France plays an important role in GDP (around 3%).
In addition, in the first quarter of 2021, French local authorities spent nearly 12 billion euros on purchases (18 billion Canadian dollars), i.e. 30% more than in the first quarter of 2020.
Regional public contracts are also experiencing a very significant increase, which has increased by 43%.
