Nafta Exporter: Mexico

To draw attention to a vast export promotions arsenal available to

individuals and businesses seeking to export to Mexico, a program called

EXPORT MEXICO was developed through a partnership between business and
government.

Mexico is our fastest-growing export market. With the implementation of
the North America Free Trade Agreement, this market is expected to provide
even greater opportunities.

Why Mexico? When your fastest growing export market is right next door,

you've got to harness it and seize the opportunity.

Exports to Mexico have Increased from $12,.4 billion in 1986 to $40.6 billion
in 1992. Mexico's 86 million consumers prefer U.S. goods. 70% of every

dollar Mexico spends on foreighn products are spent on U.S. goods. Rising
levels of disposable income among Mexican consumers helped increase our
exports by 50% since 1991.

THE NAFTA FACTOR In the last decade, the Mexican market has become more
open, instituting unilateral, market-opening reforms. The North America Free
Trade Agreement will help further accelerate the growth of U.S. exports to
Mexico, opening new doors to U.S. companies.

NAFTA will create the biggest market in the world right at our doorsteps,

over $6 Trillion with 370 million people.

NAFTA will make nearly half of all U.S. exports qualify for ZERO tariffs.

NAFTA will open Mexico to U.S. service exports, including such industries as
insurance, banking, accounting, advertising and more.
