ABSTRACT

Trade policy has been the cornerstone of Mexico’s economic growth since the early 1990s. Mexico has built a strategy of integration into the world economy through its membership of the World Trade Organization (WTO) and an open regionalism strategy that has resulted in the creation of a network of 12 free trade agreements (FTAs) with 46 countries, eight economic complementation agreements with Latin American partners, and 32 bilateral investment treaties (BITs) with 33 countries in Latin America, the Asia-Pacific region, Europe and the Middle East.2
