MEXICO CITY TOPS NAFTA FINANCE RANKING IFCs

摘要

As the US, Canada and Mexico prepare to renegotiate the deal that has defined intra-regional trade for over two decades, the North American Free Trade Agreement (Nafta), The Banker has looked at a sector negotiators might like to prioritise in their modernisation efforts: financial services. How does Mexico score in relation to the US, whose current administration has lam basted the trade deficit with its southern neighbour? The country has done well in attracting foreign direct investment (FDI) to its financial centres. Between June 2016 and May 2017, $209.5m flowed into Mexico City compared with the $207m received by New York, according to greenfield investment monitor fDi Intelligence.
