Mexico keen to strengthen financial links within NAFTA

XINHUA, MEXICO CITY: Mexican Minister of Finance Jose Antonio Meade said Thursday that Mexico, the United States and Canada, which are renegotiating the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), agree to deepen integration in financial services. When the first round of negotiations started in Washington on Wednesday, representatives noted “a shared willingness to improve integration” in financial services, Meade told reporters at a public event in central Mexico.
