Since the enactment <strong>of</strong> NAFTAin January 1994, Mexico’s imports from the United States have grown exponentially,totaling over $141 billion in 2008. The U.S. share <strong>of</strong> Mexico’s trade has likewiseincreased with NAFTA, accounting for nearly 75 percent <strong>of</strong> Mexico’s total trade. U.S.exports to Mexico are greater than U.S. exports to the rest <strong>of</strong> Latin America combined.NAFTA continues to boost trade between the three member countries and improveMexico’s overall economic standing. Since the enactment <strong>of</strong> NAFTA in January 1994,Mexico’s exports have increased by over 220 percent, breaking a new record for totalexports each year, except 2001 (a recession year). During the same period, Mexico’simports have grown by nearly 165 percent. The U.S. share <strong>of</strong> Mexico’s trade haslikewise increased with NAFTA.
