Ofrece un diagnóstico sobre la dinámica del comercio y las inversiones entre ambos países y aporta recomendaciones precisas para impulsar el desarrollo de la región fronteriza vía la inversión productiva y el comercio. La eliminación de aranceles al comercio bilateral en el marco del tratado de libre comercio no ha sido suficiente para detonarlo debido a barreras regulatorias, burocráticas y administrativas, además de deficiencias institucionales y de infraestructura. Se sugiere que, para optimizar el comercio y la inversión entre ambos países, los gobiernos nacionales y estatales den prioridad a la relación bilateral en las agendas de política exterior de ambos, lo que tendría que materializarse con recursos económicos, políticos y humanos.El Colegio de México A.C.2020-06-30info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfapplication/xmlhttps://forointernacional.colmex.mx/index.php/fi/article/view/277110.24201/fi.v60i3.2771Foro Internacional; Vol. LX, 3 (241) july - september, 2020; 1081-1119Foro Internacional; Vol. LX, 3 (241) Julio - Septiembre, 2020; 1081-11192448-65230185-013Xreponame:Foro Internacionalinstname:EL COLEGIO DE MÉXICOinstacron:COLMEXspahttps://forointernacional.colmex.mx/index.php/fi/article/view/2771/2668https://forointernacional.colmex.mx/index.php/fi/article/view/2771/2696Derechos de autor 2020 Foro Internacionalinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessoai:oai.forointernacional.colmex.mx:article/27712024-08-16T22:09:50Z
