Open economy

A fundamental issue for choosing off-shore locations is the ease in which a country does business abroad. Mexico has advantageous Free Trade Agreements and very few export-import procedures.

Free Trade Agreements

Mexico is the second country with the largest number of Free Trade Agreements (FTAs) in the world. Mexico’s network of agreements covers 44 countries on three continents. This is a unique opportunity for international commerce and investment because it gives strategic access to a potential market of over one billion consumers which represents over 60% of the world’s GDP.

Number of export procedures

To export from Mexico, only 5 procedural documents are needed. This gives Mexico an advantage over countries like Brazil, China and India where more documents are required.

Number of import procedures

Likewise, only 4 import procedures are needed, ranking Mexico in a better position than USA, China Brazil and India.
