here are several reasons why economists are concerned about the proliferation of regional trade agreements:
- Regional trade agreements terms can conflict with those of the WTO
-
Regional trade agreements may limit trade from outside the regions in agreement
Regional trade agreements basically could make the economy within a certain region became secluded from other countries and may raise the price of certain commodities.
