Economic Relations In Mexico

1. Introduction

In this paper a critical analysis of the dependence of Mexican relations in economic terms with the United States will be made, this is because the Mexican economy mainly depends on its exports, therefore, relying on a single commercial partner makes us highly vulnerable in our economy. Since the beginning of the 90's and with the entry of Mexico into GATT, the economic opening of Mexico was developed until the beginning of NAFTA in 1994, where Mexican exports increased their dependence over time, which has had negative effects and positive and negative for Mexico.
