Mexico is already a free trade economy; the problem is that it doesn't have enough intellectual capital to improve productivity and there are many monopolies which prevent an effective market economy to take place. For example, there is only one company providing land lines in Mexico, known as Telmex. It provides a bad service, but has one of the highest rates in the world. However, competition is almost impossible to take place right now.
Mexico opened its economy to the world, culminating with the signature of the North American Free Trade Agreement, with the United States and Canada.
Mexico trades with all countries in South America, but of special importance is Brazil as it is the largest economy in such continent.
