It helped improve the economy.

NAFTA greatly increased Mexico’s trade, exports, and foreign direct investment, spurring growth in manufacturing (especially maquiladoras) and integrating Mexico into North American supply chains. However, effects were uneven: some rural farmers and small producers suffered, inequality remained, and NAFTA didn’t prevent periodic downturns (e.g., the 1994–95 peso crisis).
