Mexico is Latin America's second-largest economy and a major manufacturing hub in the automotive, aeronautical and electronics sectors. With its geographic position between North and South America and the CUSMA, it is a key market for Swiss exports in the NAFTA area.
EFTA and Mexico concluded a free trade agreement in 2001, updated in 2018. Bilateral CH–Mexico trade exceeds CHF 2 billion annually.
