It is one of the oldest treaties of these countries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But on November 30, 2018<sup>5<\/sup>, new conditions and benefits were proposed. The United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA) replaced NAFTA. This agreement entered into force on June 1, 2020, and will remain in effect for 16 years, undergoing revisions every six years.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>NAFTA\u2019s goal was to encourage international treaties in North America, reducing transactional hindrances. In the beginning, all parties benefited, but in the long term, it resulted in job losses. Therefore, USMCA\u2019s key changes included regulations to protect workers.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another transition was implementing regulations in the automotive sector. In the past, NAFTA stipulated that to get tariff exemption benefits, 62.5% of production<sup>6<\/sup> must be done in countries that have signed the agreement; meanwhile, USMCA increased this up to 75%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, NAFTA and USMCA differ greatly; the latter has 34 articles, compared to the 22 that the former had. The document\u2019s extension addresses the addition of new guidelines on relevant issues for the development of 21st century industry, such as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><span>SMEs.<\/span><\/li><li><span>E-commerce.<\/span><\/li><li><span>Telecommunications.<\/span><\/li><li><span>Competitiveness.<\/span><\/li><li><span>Anti-corruption strategies.<\/span><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>By elaborating on measures to tackle these issues, the new trade agreement has been advantageous for the three nations, providing stability and setting clear rules for commercial transactions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">USMCA: how it impacts industrial development<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/advance-realestate.com.amatedigital.mx\/adblog\/espacios-industriales-e-inversion-extranjera-en-mexico\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);color:#216baf\" class=\"has-inline-color\">Industrial space<\/mark><\/strong><\/a> development gained an incredible historic boost related to this trade agreement and the conditions that arose from the pandemic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As data shown by Newmark, 10 years ago, the average occupancy was 15 million sq ft<sup>7<\/sup>, with Class A industrial buildings holding the greatest demand. By 2021, leasing such spaces increased to 31 million sq ft, in other words, a growth of 108%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The treaty also helped promote trade activity worth more than US$1.2 trillion<sup>8<\/sup> between the member nations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Manufacturing processes saw positive results in cost reductions since many of the products assembled in North America came with imported parts from other countries. Before signing the agreement, the added value in each process costs much more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Likewise, production was optimized by simplifying supply chains, which is why companies can currently strive for higher productivity levels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Industrial real estate is another sector that has seen positive outcomes due to the FTA, attracting new tenants and increasing foreign direct investment (FDI) percentage. This trend has led to optimistic projections concerning stability in the manufacturing sector and the consolidation of logistics and distribution chains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At <mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);color:#216baf\" class=\"has-inline-color\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/advance-realestate.com\/home\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Advance Real Estate<\/a><\/strong><\/mark>, we provide national and foreign companies with industrial spaces adapted to industrial development challenges in 2023.
