Caribbean Basin Interim Trade Program: CBI/NAFTA Parity
The entry into force, on January 1, 1994, of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) has eliminated the advantage that the beneficiaries of the Caribbean Basin Economic Recovery Act (CBERA) and related provisions of the Caribbean Basin Initiative (CBI) had enjoyed in trade with the United States relative to Mexico, and gave Mexico an increasingly significant competitive edge over the CBERA countries. The scheduled further implementation of the NAFTA would have resulted in a substantial advantage to Mexico over the CBERA countries and vitiate in part the purpose of the CBERA.

Global Markets: Evaluating Some Risks the U.S. May Face
This report covers globalization which is seen as a force that enhances the power of the market and gives greater scope for realizing the gains from trade. This is an enriching process, with improved economic well-being growing out of increased specialization of world production and elevated economic efficiency. To others, however, globalization is seen as a clear threat to their economic well-being, perceived to be retarding the growth of worker wages, increasing wage inequality, undermining domestic social relations, and raising the exposure of the American economy to foreign economic contagion. The 108th Congress is likely to have to focus attention on trade liberalization initiatives with Singapore and Chile and, perhaps the Free Trade with the Americas initiative.
