Abstract: The North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), that was signed by the US, Canada and Mexico in December 1992, came into effect from January 1994. Within six years of the implementation of the free trade agreement, the trade between the three countries had increased from $109 billion (1994) to $622 billion by 2000. NAFTA also had a significant impact on the three economies in terms of rapid growth in job opportunities and foreign direct investments. However, it was opined that NAFTA still had to confront certain challenges to achieve its objective of lifting all the trade barriers between the US, Canada and Mexico. |
