“GLOBAL
TRADE” is the buying and selling of products/commodities,
capitals and services all across global territories or borders.
In most of the countries, such kind of trade
represents a major share of GDP (gross domestic product). While global trade
has existed throughout the history (for example- Amber Road, Salt Roads, Uttarapatha,
Silk Road, Atlantic Slave Trade, and Scramble for Africa), its political,
social, and economic prominence has been on the rise in current times. Accomplishing
trade at a global level is pretty difficult especially when compared to
domestic trade.
Whenever trade takes place among two or more
countries factors like economy, currency, laws, government policies, and
marketplaces influence trade.
To justify and smoothens the trade procedure
among nations of different economies standing, a global economic organization
was formed that is known as WTO (World Trade Organization). This organization
works toward the development and facilitation of global trade. There are many
sources which provide such type of statistical information. Data providing
sources are one of them which publish official stats or figures on the global
trade with the help of Global Trade Data.
It helps to collect accurate trade statistics of global countries.
Characteristics
of International Trade
An
item is sold or transferred from a party in one nation to a party in another
nation is an export from the originating nation and an import to the nation
receiving that item. The international trade is all over based on import and
export business among countries. Those products/goods or services which enter
into a nation for sale are called imports and those products/goods leave a
nation for sale in another nation are called exports.
For example, any country may
import rice because it doesn’t have much cultivable area, but export oil
because that country has oil in large quantity.
Understand the Concept of International Trade Properly
Portugal
harvests more wine per man-hour than England and England harvests more wheat
per man-hour than Portugal. Therefore, Portugal has an advantage in harvesting
wine and England has an advantage in harvesting wheat. In other words, Portugal’s
opportunity prices are lesser for the production of wine than for the
production of wheat and England’s opportunity prices for the production of
wheat is lesser than for the production of wine. Thus, Portugal is better off
harvesting wine and selling it to England and buying its wheat. On the other
hand, England is better off harvesting wheat and selling it to Portugal and
buying its wine.
What
can we understand from this example? Global/International trade lets for specialization
and lower prices to customers. Nations can effort on what they are preeminently
suited to do- involve in the exports and imports with the lesser opportunity
prices for them. Concentrating on their comparative benefits means they can
increase efficiency and production that leads to greater potential for financial
development and revenue.
Foreign
trade can make financial wealth on a global scale as every nation increases its
growth and revenue by concentrating on what it does best and saving money on
imports that would be more expensive for it to harvest locally. A nation makes
profits from exporting excess products and services. The money it obtains from
the exports can be used to import products and services it doesn’t harvest.
In
addition to this, this kind of trade also decreases global war and conflict.
Global trade makes long-term mutually beneficial relations. In other words,
international trade cultivates cooperation rather than conflict.
