ABSTRACT: In a world full of developments and risks, states
have sought to consolidate their macroeconomic policy under the banner of a
regional economic bloc. They can benefit by strengthening their position in the
field of economic integration, either through preferential trade agreements or
through foreign direct investment or labor force. This study examines the
Abraham Accords as a model of regional economic integration and reviews the
background to the signing of the agreements and the political and economic
factors that led to the signing. The study then presents the realities of the
application and the impact of the agreements on the economy of the integrated
states after two years of signing, revealing the challenges and opportunities.
