Multilateral Agreement On Investment

The alphabet soup of trade agreements — from NAFTA and AFTA, to GATT and the WTO — could be joined by yet another acronym. The MAI, or Multilateral Agreement on Investment, is a sweeping new international economic agreement which would amplify key provisions of the North American Free Trade Agreement and apply them worldwide. MAI grants transnational investors the unrestricted ability to buy, sell and move businesses and capital wherever they want, whenever they want.
