The National Bank of Canada has released its sixth edition of the Family Advantage report, titled 'Bridging Canada with Asia: Global Family Business Perspectives.'

The report highlights the unique assets that family-owned Canadian businesses have to diversify their markets and seize growth opportunities in the Asia-Pacific region.

With a growing desire to diversify its economic partnerships, Canada is turning towards the Asia-Pacific region as a growth engine.
