The Mexico–United Kingdom free trade agreement (MUKFTA) is a proposed free trade agreement which began negotiations on 20 May 2022.[1] The trade agreement would be the third FTA to cover Mexico–UK trade, superseding the Mexico–UK Trade Continuity Agreement, extending the deal to cover financial, creative, digital, services and digital trade.[2]

History

From 1 July 2000 until 30 December 2020, trade between Mexico and the United Kingdom was governed by the Mexico–European Union Free Trade Agreement, while the UK was a member of the European Union.[3] Following the withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the European Union, the UK and Mexico signed a continuity trade agreement on 15 December 2020, based on the EU free trade agreement; the agreement entered into force on 1 June 2021.[4][5]

On 20 May 2022, Mexico and the United Kingdom announced their intentions start talks on a modernised free trade agreement; the agreement will supersede Mexico–United Kingdom Trade Continuity agreement.[6]
