This months trends

In August and September 2016, the regional trade policy agenda was shaped by activities around trade negotiations both within and outside the region. The most notable example of this is Uruguay, which has been working towards deepening existing bilateral agreements while negotiating a next-generation bilateral trade agreement with Chile. There was also a marked contrast between the dynamism and strong leadership evident within the Pacific Alliance integration scheme and the deadlock that the MERCOSUR is currently experiencing.
