Abstract Taking the investment terms of the TransPacific Partnership Agreement (TPP) as the benchmark, the paper analyzes the level of investment liberalization of Colombias 3 free trade agreements (FTAs), namely the ColombiaUS, the ColombiaSouth Korea, and the ColombiaMexico FTA. The paper notes that the ColombiaUS FTA has the highest level of investment liberalization, followed by the ColombiaSouth Korea FTA and the ColombiaMexico FTA. Exploration of investment openness at the industry level reveals that finance and insurance, education, arts and entertainment, as well as health and social work are Colombias most sensitive areas to foreign investment. The study contributes to further improving the system of analysis and measurement of investment liberalization in FTA negotiations theoretically, which also serves as the reference for negotiations on investment issues in the SinoColombia FTA.
