Mexico has a 2.2 percent average tariff rate. It has reduced tariff and non-tariff barriers unilaterally and through trade agreements like the Pacific Alliance. A law passed in December 2013 will partially open the energy sector to foreign investment. The financial sector is relatively small and lacks dynamism. Mexico needs to build a deeper and more accessible banking system. The OECD bemoaned Mexico’s record: it is alone among big emerging markets in suffering from sustained declines in the broadest measure of productivity during the past decade. In order for GDP growth to rise from its current potential of about 3% to a healthier 4%, the productivity trend must be reversed through structural reforms, it said. Mexico’s three main political parties, which have created a pact to promote more than 100 such changes, are aiming for 5%. How much is our country´s external debt...

...Rapporteur about the theme COLOMBIA AND FREE TRADE AGREEMENTS RAPPORTEUR: Adolfo Jose Perez PROGRAM: Marketing and International Business SUBJECT: International Relations and Agreements TEACHING: James Paul Linero COLOMBIA AND FREE TRADE AGREEMENTS First of all it is necessary to know that a free trade agreement; a Free Trade Agreement (FTA) is a regional or bilateral trade agreement to expand the market of goods and services between countries. Basically, is the elimination or substantial reduction of tariffs on goods between the parties, and agreements on services. This agreement is governed by the rules of the World Trade Organization (WTO) or by mutual agreement between the countries. The main objectives of an (FTA) Free Trade Agreement are: * Remove barriers that affect or impair trade. * Promote conditions of fair competition. * Increase investment opportunities. * Provide adequate protection to intellectual property rights. * Establish effective processes for stimulating domestic production. * Encourage cooperation between friends. * Offering a solution to disputes. The free trade agreements are important because they are an effective means to ensure access of products to foreign markets, in an easier and without barriers. They also allow increasing the marketing of national products, to generate more employment, to modernize the productive, improve the welfare of the people and promote the creation of new firms by domestic and...

...ECONOMIC INTEGRATION The process of Economic Integration arises when a group of nations in the same geographical area join together to form an economic union or a regional trading bloc by raising a common tariff wall against the products of non-member countries while freeing internal trade among members. Opposing tariffs can also differ among members when trading with external partners, this is called a customs union, but in a free trade zone among members is called a free-trade area. All this culminates in a common market, which includes also the free movement of labour and capital among the member states, forming the most advanced type of economic integration, the economic union. Examples of a complete economic and monetary union are the United States. Free trade leads to the most efficient utilization of world resources and thus maximizes world output and welfare, our goal is to increase welfare by practising free trade. A customs union can reduce and increase welfare, to insure that welfare is increased the customs union should be formed under the following conditions: 1. the higher the preunion trade barriers of member countries. There is then a greater probability that formation of the customs union will create trade among union members rather than divert trade from non-members to members. 2. The lower are the customs union’s barriers on trade with the rest of the world. This makes it less likely that formation of the customs union will lead to costly trade diversion. 3...

...Capitulo 1 Processo de Integração Regional O Processo de Integração Regional trata de um aprofundamento das relações entre atores com intuito de criar novas formas de governança para determinada região. Por esse motivo que estudo de processo de integração abrange áreas referentes à politica, economia e comercio entre os países envolvidos. Trata-se de uma interdependência onde os entes encontram no bloco regional a possibilidade de maximizar a busca por interesses comuns, primeiramente em torno da eliminação de barreiras ao livre comercio, serviços, capitais e pessoas, e posteriormente com a criação de órgãos supranacionais. No entanto, existe no meio acadêmico uma diversidade de definições acerca do conceito de integração. Para Andrés Malamud, utilizando da definição clássica elaborada por Ernest B. Haas, “La integración regional puede definirse como un proceso por el cual los estados nacionales ‘se mezclan, confunden y fusionan voluntariamente con sus vecinos de modo tal que pierden ciertos atributos fácticos de la soberanía, a la vez que adquieren nuevas técnicas para resolver conjuntamente sus conflictos.’ (Haas, 1971:6). A definición clásica de Ernst Haas debe agregarse que ‘lo hacen creando instituciones comunes permanentes, capaces de tomar decisiones vinculantes para todos los miembros. Otros elementos - el mayor flujo comercial, el fomento del contacto entre las elites, la facilitación de los encuentros o comunicaciones de las personas a través de las fronteras nacionales...

...2. Executive summary • Two countries researched for potential market entry of Silkwood Wines, using macro-environmental (PEST) analysis, are Argentina and New Zealand. • Argentina is an attractive market for winemakers from ‘target-market’ point of view, but it is not a good time to commence exporting to this country. Unfavourable political and economic situation are the strongest factors that influence this decision. High physical, psychic, cultural and linguistic distances from Australia represent additional potential complications. • New Zealand on the other hand offers less opportunity for profits, but being physically, psychically, culturally and linguistically close to Australia, with a favourable applicable tariff rates and historically good relationship, it is a safe option. • American slightly positive GDP growth in the last quarter and some other latest statistics indicate that the worst times relating to world financial crisis is in the past. Nevertheless, world’s economists are prognosticating that long time is needed for full recovery. Some countries are still in recession and Argentina is battling hard to come out as a winner. Higher risks are associated with these hard times, thus a safer option is recommended. • Taking all this into consideration and the facts that Silkwood Wines are inexperienced in exporting and have limited human and financial resources, I recommend New Zealand as the best country for initial entry. With characteristics above described...
