In determining which goods to import from which country and which goods to export, I encountered some of the advantages and some limitations of the international trade. According to the theory of comparative advantage, a country should specialize in the production and export of commodities that it can produce at a lower opportunity cost than other countries while it should import commodities that are produced at a lower opportunity cost than other countries. Limitations such as imposing a quota or tariff can raise the price of products and lead to a loss in consumer surplus or cause retaliation from the country therefore reducing the goods a country is able to export. There are factors that influence the foreign exchange rate which also has an impact on a country’s importing and exporting. Regardless of these things, international trade is important to a countries

Trade Most goods we buy have a label on them. This ‘made in’ label tells us where the items have been produced and therefore from where they were imported from. The exchange of goods and services between nations is trade. International trade is based on a country specializing in producing a surplus of gods it can produce most efficiently in order to gain a competitive advantage. Trade allows for: businesses to grow and create more jobs, a wider choice of goods and services often at cheaper prices, economic growth and the strengthening of strategic and political ties between nations.
Factors like the strength of the economy, activities of international investors, and foreign trade all have something to do with the change in supply and demand. Given the size and mobility, the flow of capital is a determining factor of how the exchange rates will comply. Once the influences mentioned above affect the interest rates, the exchange rates among the market determined currencies are also influenced because currencies are extremely vulnerable to changes in interest rates and sovereign risk factors. The key drivers of an exchange rate stem from international capital and trade flows, the interest rate differentials net of expected inflation, trading activities in other currencies, monetary policy and central banks, and financial and political stabilities. If local prices in a country increase more than prices in another country for the same product; being is that foreign exchange forward markets are linked to interest markets; then the local currency may decline in value via its foreign counterpart, presuming there is no change with the structural relationship between the two.

Globalisation is fuelled by different companies, people and countries integrating their economies, their trade and to some extent their people and societies. Global social and economic groupings have been created between countries to help enable globalisation and ease the movement of capital between various countries. Each grouping has its own specific aims, but generally they hope to remove trade barriers, so that countries can buy and sell products from other countries more easily. Some such as the EU, go as far as to also have a monetary union in order to eliminate exchange rate problems. Others such as the Arab league take a social approach in order to unite countries for a common cause.
