Commercial treaties: realities or utopias

Abstract

Much is said about Commercial Treaties in recent days and within the official and private economic projections of the country. The productive growth, the generation of foreign currency and the increase of employment in the coming years, seem to depend in large part on the recent agreements and those to be celebrated: Mexico, the Dominican Republic, Panama, Canada, Chile, the United States, etc.
Indeed, in addition to the Maquila and family remittances as drivers of economic dynamics, the Free Trade Agreements (FTAs) are emerging as a kind of strength and hope for the future of the country.
Potentially, trade between countries brings generalized benefits as a result, since individual interest benefits without having proposed it to the general interest, with the commerce undertaken by entrepreneurs benefiting consumers.
Similarly, trade between countries or groups of countries drags foreign investment and the globalization of economies offers countries more opportunities to be competitive.
