- Economies are linked through international trade and financial markets, with exchange rates determining the price of foreign currencies. Under fixed exchange rates, central banks intervene to maintain rates, while floating rates are determined by markets.
- With perfect capital mobility, monetary policy is powerful under floating rates as interest rates cannot diverge from global levels. Fiscal policy is powerful under fixed rates.
- The Mundell-Fleming model examines how exchange rates and capital mobility impact monetary and fiscal policy effectiveness. Intervention can boost demand through currency depreciation under floating rates.
The document discusses balance of payments (BoP) and exchange rates. It defines BoP as the record of transactions between a country's residents and the rest of the world, consisting of the current account (CA) and capital account (KA). The CA records trade in goods and services and transfer payments, while the KA records purchases and sales of financial assets. Under a fixed exchange rate system, central banks intervene in currency markets to maintain exchange rates. Under a floating system, exchange rates adjust to balance supply and demand for foreign currency.
This document summarizes key concepts and questions from an international finance textbook chapter on the international flow of funds. It provides answers to 10 questions on topics like the components of a country's current account and capital account, how inflation and government restrictions can affect international payments, the objectives of the IMF in facilitating international trade, and how exchange rate fluctuations impact trade balances. The answers analyze these concepts concisely at a high level.
The document discusses India's balance of payments (BoP). It defines BoP as a systematic record of all economic transactions between residents of a country and foreign countries over a period. India's BoP includes a current account for trade in goods/services and transfers, and a capital account for financial flows. In the early 1990s, India faced a BoP crisis due to rising oil prices and falling equity prices. To address this, India introduced economic reforms like decontrolling the rupee and liberalizing foreign investment and trade. These reforms expanded India's foreign trade and improved its BoP position over time.

This document discusses three issues related to exchange rates and macroeconomic policy: devaluation and revaluation of fixed exchange rates, monetary policy under floating exchange rates, and international business cycles. It explains that devaluation increases exports and revaluation decreases exports under a fixed exchange rate regime. For floating rates, it describes how monetary policy affects exchange rates and aggregate demand. It also notes how recessions can spread between countries through trade links and the impact of exchange rate regimes.
This document discusses Robert Lucas's paradox regarding why capital does not flow from rich to poor countries despite higher returns. It summarizes that:
1) Poor countries have lower productivity (different production functions) than rich countries, resulting in a smaller difference between rates of return that reduces the incentive for capital to migrate.
2) Allowing for productivity differences, investment will not cause poor countries to reach the same capital or output levels as rich countries, leading to long-run divergence rather than convergence.
3) Unless poor countries can increase productivity, greater financial integration provides limited benefits, as there are not enough opportunities for productive investment to drive complete convergence.
This document discusses exchange rate determination and factors that influence exchange rates. It begins by explaining how exchange rates are measured in terms of currency appreciation and depreciation. The equilibrium exchange rate is then defined as being determined by the demand and supply of currencies. Several factors are described as influencing the equilibrium rate, including inflation rates, interest rates, income levels, government controls, and expectations about future exchange rates. The interaction of these factors and how they can both reinforce and offset each other is also discussed. The chapter concludes by examining how commercial banks can speculate on anticipated exchange rate movements.

This document discusses exchange rates and currency convertibility in different countries. It defines exchange rate as the price of one country's currency in terms of another currency. There are three types of currency convertibility - fully convertible where there are no limits on exchanging domestic currency for foreign currency, partially convertible where there are some limits, and non-convertible where residents cannot exchange domestic currency. Exchange rates can be fixed by a government, floating where they are determined by supply and demand, or managed where a central bank intervenes to influence changes within a predetermined range. Factors like inflation, trade balances, interest rates, and speculation can impact exchange rates.
This document discusses foreign exchange and exchange rates. It defines foreign exchange as currencies other than a country's domestic currency used in international trade. Exchange rates are the prices of currencies expressed in terms of other currencies and can fluctuate based on supply and demand. The document outlines factors that influence exchange rates and why foreign exchange is needed for international trade. It also defines and compares different exchange rate systems and discusses how exchange rates are determined in currency markets through the interaction of demand and supply of foreign currencies.
The document discusses key concepts in open-economy macroeconomics. It defines open and closed economies and explains that open economies interact through international trade and capital flows. It describes how goods and capital move across borders through exports, imports and net exports as well as foreign investment and net capital outflows. These international flows are determined by economic factors like prices, incomes and exchange rates. The document also introduces purchasing power parity theory which posits that exchange rates should adjust so that currencies have equal purchasing power in different countries.
The document discusses macroeconomic indicators that influence exchange rates, including inflation rates, interest rates, recessions, government debt, current accounts, terms of trade, and political stability. It notes that exchange rates are a key indicator of a country's economic health and are impacted by factors like inflation differentials between countries, interest rates, and trade balances. The document also provides an overview of open economy identities and multipliers.
This document provides an overview of exchange rate theories and derivatives. It discusses traditional exchange rate theories based on trade flows and the purchasing power parity theory. It also covers interest rate parity theory, international fisher effect theory, and the uncovered and unbiased forward rate theories.

The document discusses international monetary systems and the International Monetary Fund (IMF), including the IMF's role in fostering global monetary cooperation and financial stability. It describes the IMF's governance structure, operations, and efforts to reform its quota system to increase representation of emerging markets. The IMF works to ensure stability of international monetary exchange rates and payments systems between its 189 member countries.
The document discusses key components of the balance of payments including the current account, capital account, and financial account. It explains factors that influence international flows of funds such as economic conditions, government restrictions, exchange rates, and inflation rates in countries. It also summarizes several international organizations that facilitate global trade and financial flows, such as the IMF, World Bank, WTO, and regional development agencies.
The document discusses balance of payments and factors affecting international flows of funds. It defines balance of payments as a summary of all transactions between a country and foreign residents over time. Transactions are recorded as credits or debits. The balance of payments includes a current account summarizing trade in goods/services/income, and a capital/financial account tracking financial/non-financial assets. Factors like inflation, income, exchange rates, and government policies can affect trade balances. A trade deficit may be corrected by a floating exchange rate that weakens the home currency.
The IMF created Special Drawing Rights (SDRs) in 1969 to support the Bretton Woods fixed exchange rate system due to inadequate reserves of gold and U.S. dollars. SDRs serve as an international reserve asset issued by the IMF and their value is based on a basket of four major currencies that can be exchanged for other currencies. Exchange rates are determined by the demand and supply of currencies in the foreign exchange market. The equilibrium exchange rate is where the demand for a currency equals the supply. Factors like inflation rates, interest rates, income levels, government controls, and expectations can influence exchange rates by affecting either the demand or supply of currencies.
The document discusses the foreign exchange market. It provides background on the history of currency exchange beginning in ancient times. It then summarizes key aspects of the modern foreign exchange market, including that it consists of both wholesale and retail tiers, involves spot and forward transactions between various participants, and uses quotations structured as bids and asks with spreads. The market is unique due to its massive daily trading volume, global nature, and around the clock operations.
This document summarizes key concepts about exchange rates and the foreign exchange market from an asset approach perspective. It discusses how exchange rates are determined by supply and demand in the foreign exchange market, and how interest rates, expectations of future exchange rates, and relative prices affect equilibrium in the market. Equilibrium requires interest rate parity, where expected returns are equal across currency deposits when measured in the same currency. A rise in a currency's interest rate causes its appreciation, while a rise in expected future exchange rates causes the current rate to rise as well.
The balance of payments records all economic transactions between a country and the rest of the world over a period of time. It includes visible items like exports and imports of goods, as well as invisible items like services. It also includes capital transfers. The balance of payments aims to systematically record all these international transactions and ensure receipts and payments are balanced. A country may experience a surplus or deficit in its balance of payments depending on whether receipts from transactions exceed payments or vice versa. Disequilibria can be corrected through various monetary and non-monetary measures that target exchange rates, exports, imports and capital flows.
The document defines and explains the balance of payments (BOP) which records financial transactions between a country and others. It discusses the current account, capital and financial account, and official settlements account. It then explains key aspects of the BOP including trade balances, factor incomes, and capital accounts. It defines various BOP terms like surplus, deficit, and discusses causes of deficits like high income elasticity of demand for imports and de-industrialization leading to declining manufacturing capacity.

The Balance of Payments (BoP) is a systematic record of all economic transactions between residents of a country and the rest of the world. It includes a country's trade balance, financial capital flows, services, and international transfers. Changes in a country's BoP can signal pressures on its foreign exchange rates and provide insights into its economic strengths and weaknesses relative to trade partners. India's BoP includes details of its imports, exports, invisibles, capital account and reserves. Its major trading partners are members of the European Union, OECD, OPEC, and developing countries like China.
This document provides an overview of balance of payments (BOP) accounting. It defines BOP as a systematic record of all economic transactions between a country and the rest of the world. It notes that BOP has three main components: the current account balance, capital account balance, and the overall BOP. The current account tracks goods/services exports and imports, while the capital account tracks financial flows. The document also discusses factors that can cause BOP disequilibriums and monetary/non-monetary policy tools to correct imbalances, such as devaluation, export promotion, and tariffs.
The balance of payments is a record of all economic transactions between a country and the rest of the world over a period of time. It includes exports and imports of visible goods as well as invisible items like services, capital inflows and outflows. The balance of payments statement has a current account, which covers trade in goods and services, and a capital account. India's balance of payments was positive in the early five-year plans but turned negative later as imports grew.
The document discusses the balance of payments, which is a systematic record of all monetary transactions between a country and the rest of the world over a period of time, usually one year. It includes transactions by citizens and the government. The balance of payments considers all transactions, while the balance of trade only considers trade transactions. A country aims for its balance of payments to equal zero. The main components are the current account, capital account, reserve accounts, and errors and omissions. The document also discusses causes of imbalances and measures to correct adverse balances, such as increasing exports, reducing imports, and controlling the population.

This document provides information about exchange rate determination. It begins with welcoming the audience and introducing the presenters. It then defines exchange rates and discusses their importance for international business. It describes the three main types of exchange rate systems - fixed, floating, and managed - and discusses their advantages and disadvantages. Finally, it outlines several theories for how exchange rates are determined, such as purchasing power parity theory and the balance of payments approach. It also lists some key determinants of exchange rates and discusses the impact of exchange rate fluctuations on multinational corporations' decisions.
This document discusses tariffs, quotas, and exchange controls. It provides information on the advantages and disadvantages of quotas, noting they can protect infant industries but lead to higher prices when used by multiple countries. Exchange controls are then defined as government restrictions on foreign currency transactions used to manage a country's currency and balance of payments. Various exchange control methods like blocked accounts and multiple exchange rates are outlined. The document also discusses factors that can cause imbalance in a country's balance of payments and measures to correct such imbalances, including exchange rate systems.
The document discusses foreign exchange markets, including the types of transactions that occur, participants, and how exchange rates are determined. It covers the functions of foreign exchange markets in facilitating international trade and investments. Exchange rates can be fixed or floating. India moved to a dual exchange rate system in 1992 that allowed partial convertibility of the rupee, with some transactions occurring at the market rate and others at an official rate, in order to make foreign exchange available for essential imports. Full convertibility was later introduced.

2) It explains concepts like floating and managed exchange rate regimes, real exchange rates, and real exchange rate appreciation and depreciation.
3) It discusses foreign exchange markets, interest rate differentials, the Fisher effect relating nominal and real interest rates, and international interest rate parity.
The document discusses the balance of payments and foreign exchange rates. It defines the balance of payments as a double-entry accounting system that records economic transactions between residents of a country and the rest of the world. The current account tracks exports, imports and investment income, and a current account deficit occurs when imports exceed exports. A country can control a current account deficit through tariffs, quotas or subsidies. Foreign exchange rates are the prices of one country's currency in terms of another and can be floating, managed, or pegged at a fixed rate within a target zone.

Here are the steps to solve the exercises:
1) 1 US dollar can buy 0.75 Canadian dollars. So for 1 US dollar you would receive 1/0.75 = 1.3333 Canadian dollars.
2) 1 US dollar can be exchanged for 105 Japanese yen or 0.80 euro.
To find the euro/yen rate, set the two expressions equal to each other:
0.80 euro = 105 yen
0.80 euro / 105 yen = 1 euro / X yen
X = 0.80 * 105 / 0.80 = 131.25 yen
So the euro/yen exchange rate is 1 euro = 131.25 yen.

This document provides an overview of international finance and currency exchange. It defines key terms like foreign exchange markets, exchange rates, and foreign exchange risk. It describes the functions of foreign exchange markets in converting currencies and providing insurance against risk. It also discusses the International Monetary Fund and its role in providing stability and flexibility to global currency systems. Managers are advised to understand how exchange rate fluctuations can impact the profitability of international business deals.
This document provides an overview of international business finance and managing foreign exchange risk. It discusses key topics such as foreign exchange markets, exchange rates, currency conversion, and tools for hedging foreign exchange risk like forward contracts and currency swaps. It also examines international monetary systems, the roles of the IMF and World Bank, and debates around fixed versus floating exchange rates. The implications for international managers are that unexpected exchange rate movements can impact profitability, so understanding and mitigating foreign exchange risk is important.
Exchange rate is the rate at which one country's currency can be exchanged for another. It expresses the value of one currency in terms of another. Countries can adopt different exchange rate regimes such as fixed rates, floating rates, or pegged rates. Exchange rates are influenced by factors like inflation, interest rates, trade balances, and expectations. Direct quotes express the domestic currency per unit of foreign currency, while indirect quotes are the reverse. The nominal rate states how much currency can be exchanged, while the real rate describes how much goods/services can be traded between countries. Indonesia has policies to control its exchange rate through managing trade deficits, economic growth, purchasing power, and investment.

International finance encompasses the study and practice of financial management in a global context, focusing on the flow of capital across borders, currency exchange rates, international investment, and international trade. Here's a concise description:
Financial forces in international business2ajikesh
The document discusses several key concepts related to international finance and how they impact business:
1. Foreign exchange rates determine the value of currencies based on supply and demand. Fluctuations in exchange rates can significantly impact the profits of multinational businesses.
2. A country's balance of payments records transactions with other countries. A current account deficit occurs when payments to other countries exceed payments received, which can burden a country with high interest payments if financed through borrowing.
3. Inflation and deflation impact businesses through changing costs, asset values, and consumer demand. Moderate inflation allows businesses to raise prices but high inflation increases costs like wages and makes debt repayment more difficult.
International monetary systems are sets of rules and institutions that facilitate international trade and investment flows. A good system allows quick and low-cost balance of payments adjustments, maintains stable exchange rates to promote confidence, and provides liquidity to address temporary deficits. Historically, systems have included bimetallism, the classical gold standard, Bretton Woods, and currently either fixed or floating exchange rates. Exchange rate regimes impact exporters and importers - depreciation boosts exports but hurts imports, while appreciation has the opposite effects. Businesses are also indirectly impacted through higher import costs or currency conversion fees on international payments.
Currency is any form of money in general circulation in a country. Foreign exchange is money denominated in the currency of another country or a group of countries. Simply, an exchange rate is defined as the rate at which the market converts one currency into another.

1) The document discusses various exchange rate systems such as fixed rates, floating rates, managed floats, and pegged rates. It also discusses currency boards and the exposure of pegged currencies.
2) It describes the European single currency, including participating countries, its impact on monetary policy and business, and its status.
3) The document outlines how governments can directly and indirectly intervene in currency markets and discusses intervention as a policy tool to influence economic outcomes. It also discusses how central bank intervention can affect the value of multinational corporations.
This document discusses foreign exchange risk and strategies for reducing exposure for international businesses. It covers:
1) Foreign exchange risk arises when business operations occur between countries with different currencies. Exchange rate fluctuations can impact financial results. Sellers prefer lower exchange rates while buyers prefer higher rates.
2) Most international transactions use strong reference currencies like USD, EUR, GBP, JPY due to stability. Exchange rates are set by supply/demand in markets and factors like inflation, interest rates, economic performance.
3) Some countries use restrictions to control currency value and limit currency conversion to prevent capital flight or maintain artificial values. Reduction of exposure involves leading/lagging payments, financial tools like forwards/options, and
The balance of payments (BOP) records a country's transactions with other countries. It has two main categories: the current account which covers trade in goods, services, and income, and the capital and financial account which covers capital transfers and financial flows. The overall BOP position is the change in a country's net international reserves resulting from transactions. It is calculated as the current account balance plus the capital and financial account balance minus net unclassified items. The document provides the Philippines' BOP data for 2009 and 2010, showing growth rates for each component.
The document discusses the foreign exchange market. It defines foreign exchange as the conversion of one country's currency to another's, typically done by banks. The foreign exchange market can operate as a spot market for current transactions or a forward market for future delivery. Exchange rates are determined by supply and demand and various economic and political factors of the involved countries. Major participants in the foreign exchange market include central banks, commercial companies, and speculators.
This document discusses several macroeconomic problems including inflation, balance of payments issues, and fluctuations in foreign exchange rates. It defines inflation and discusses how it is measured using price indices. The main causes of inflation are identified as the quantity theory of money, cost-push inflation, and demand-pull inflation. The document also defines the balance of payments and its components, and discusses potential problems like disequilibrium. Fluctuations in foreign exchange rates are covered, including causes like changes in imports/exports and interest rates, and the effects of currency appreciation and depreciation.

Vicinity Jobs’ data includes more than three million 2023 OJPs and thousands of skills. Most skills appear in less than 0.02% of job postings, so most postings rely on a small subset of commonly used terms, like teamwork.
Laura Adkins-Hackett, Economist, LMIC, and Sukriti Trehan, Data Scientist, LMIC, presented their research exploring trends in the skills listed in OJPs to develop a deeper understanding of in-demand skills. This research project uses pointwise mutual information and other methods to extract more information about common skills from the relationships between skills, occupations and regions.

After this first you should: Understand the nature of mining; have an awareness of the industry’s boundaries, corporate structure and size; appreciation the complex motivations and objectives of the industries’ various participants; know how mineral reserves are defined and estimated, and how they evolve over time.
OJP data from firms like Vicinity Jobs have emerged as a complement to traditional sources of labour demand data, such as the Job Vacancy and Wages Survey (JVWS). Ibrahim Abuallail, PhD Candidate, University of Ottawa, presented research relating to bias in OJPs and a proposed approach to effectively adjust OJP data to complement existing official data (such as from the JVWS) and improve the measurement of labour demand.

2. Highlights of the Report
• Economies are linked internationally through trade in
goods and through financial markets. The exchange
rate is the price of a foreign currency in terms of the
dollar. A high exchange rate (a weak dollar) reduces
imports and increases exports, stimulating aggregate
demand.
• Under fixed exchange rates, central banks buy and
sell foreign currency to peg the exchange rate.
Under floating exchange rates, the market
determines the value of one currency in terms of
another.
3. Highlights of the Report
• If a country wishes to maintain a fixed exchange rate
in the presence of a balance of payments deficit, the
central bank must buy back domestic currency, using
its reserves of foreign currency and gold or borrowing
reserves from abroad. If the balance of payments
deficit persists long enough for the country to run out
of reserves, it must allow the value of its currency to
fall.
• In the very long run, exchange rates adjust so as to
equalize the real cost of goods across countries.
4. Highlights of the Report
• With perfect capital mobility and fixed
exchange rates, fiscal policy is powerful. With
perfect capital mobility and floating
exchange rates, monetary policy is powerful.

8. Capital Mobility
• One of the striking facts about international
economy is the high degree of integration or
linkage among financial/capital markets –
the markets in which bonds and stocks are
traded.
• If foreign exchange rates are permanently
fixed, taxes are the same everywhere, and
international asset holders never face political
risks (nationalization, restrictions on transfer of
assets, default risk by foreign governments).
There would be strict equality in the world
capital markets.
9. Capital Mobility
• In reality, there are tax differences among
countries. Exchange rates can change,
perhaps significantly, and thus affect the
payoff of a foreign investment.
• Interest rate dissimilarities among major
industrialized countries that are adjusted to
eliminate the risk of exchange rate changes
are partially practiced.
• Henceforth, capital is very highly mobile
across borders.
10. Capital Mobility
Perfect Capital Mobility
• Capital is perfectly mobile internationally when
investors in search of the highest return, can
purchase assets in any country they can choose,
quickly, with low transaction costs, and in
unlimited accounts.
The high degree of capital market integration implies
that any one country’s interest rates cannot get too far
out of line without bringing about capital flows that
tend to restore yields to the world level.

12. Capital Mobility
The introduction of trade in goods means that some of
the demand for our output comes from abroad and
that some spending by our residents is on foreign
goods. The demand for our goods depends on the
real exchange rata as well as on the levels of income
at home and abroad.
A real depreciation or increase in foreign income
increases net exports and shifts the IS curve out to the
right. There is equilibrium in the goods market when the
demand for domestically produced goods is equal to
the output of those goods.
13. Mundell-Fleming Model
Perfect Capital Mobility Under Fixed Exchange Rates
• The model first proposed by Robert Mundell and
Marcus Fleming that explores economy with flexible
exchange rates and perfect capital mobility.
• Under fixed exchange rates and perfect mobility, a
country cannot pursue an independent monetary
policy. Interest rates cannot move out of line with
those prevailing in the world market. Any attempt at
independent monetary policy leads to capital flows
and need to intervene until interest rates are back
in line with those in the world market.
15. Mundell-Fleming Model
Perfect Capital Mobility and Flexible Exchange Rates
• Under fully flexible exchange rates the
absence of intervention implies a zero
balance of payments. Any current account
deficit must be financed by private capital
inflows.
• A current account b account surplus is
balanced by capital outflows. Adjustments
in the exchange rate ensure that the sum of
the current and capital account is zero.
18. Mundell-Fleming Model
Perfect Capital Mobility and Flexible Exchange Rates
• If an economy with floating rates finds itself
with unemployment, the central bank can
intervene to depreciate the exchange rate
and increase net exports and thus aggregate
demand.
• Such policies are known as beggar-thy-
neighbor policies because the increase in
demand for domestic output comes at the
expense of demand for foreign output.
19. ECONOMIC IMPLICATIONS OF INCREASING
INTEGRATION
• Economic integration is the elimination of tariff
and nontariff barriers to the flow of goods,
services, and factors of production between
a group of nations, or different parts of the
same nation.
• It involves at least two countries to abolish
customs tariffs on inner border between the
states. This causes a number of effects while
the phenomenon itself has specific properties
for its successful development.
20. ECONOMIC IMPLICATIONS OF INCREASING
INTEGRATION
• It requires coherence of the policies (customs, tax,
financial, social policies etc. and entity registration)
applied in integrated states. Economic parameters
(domestic savings rate, tax rates, etc.) are striving to
one single multitude. Coherence policy finally leads
to equal multi-dimensional economic space within
integrated area.
• It needs permanency of economic integration stages
applied to unified states (free trade area, customs
union, economic union, political union). Otherwise
integration process declines, finally leading to
termination of economic unions.
21. ECONOMIC IMPLICATIONS OF INCREASING
INTEGRATION
• Economic integration leads to Pareto-reallocation of
the factors (labor and capital) which move towards
their better exploitation. Labor moves to area of
higher wages, while capital – to area with higher
returns.
• Domestic saving rates in the member states of
economically integrated region strive to the one and
same magnitude, described by the coherence policy
of economic blocks. At the same time, practical
observation shows that this phenomenon is taking
place before formal creation of economic unions.
22. ECONOMIC IMPLICATIONS OF INCREASING
INTEGRATION
• Formulation of economic integration theory has been
initiated by Jacob Viner who described trade
creation and trade diversion effects caused by
economic integration meaning a change in direction
of interregional trade flows respectively caused by
the change of tariffs within and outside economic
union.
• The dynamics of trade creation and diversion effects
was mathematically described by R.T. Dalimov. The
finding shows that trade flow (an output moving from
region to region) may be described with the goods
flow caused by the price difference.
23. ECONOMIC IMPLICATIONS OF INCREASING
INTEGRATION
• Economic integration of states leads to the creation
of the terms of trade. Economic union of states
obtains more privileged position in trade negotiations.
• Economic integration benefits (growth of economy,
specifically the GDP; raise of productivity) depend on
the level of development as well as a scale of
unifying states.
• If there are two states being economically
integrated, then the larger the size of economy the
less it receives from integration and vice versa.
24. ECONOMIC IMPLICATIONS OF INCREASING
INTEGRATION
• The same principle is observed regarding the
level of development of integrating states,
although it is not as clear as the firstly
mentioned principle.
• Productivity in the unified area is increased.
Remarkably, it is increased more in less
developed states, and vice versa (Dalimov,
2008), i.e. according to the principle
observed in practice.
25. ECONOMIC IMPLICATIONS OF INCREASING
INTEGRATION
• Among the main benefits for the countries which
decided to be unified is a free access to markets
of the other member states.
• Since the stage of the common market, or since
supranational bodies of the union are created,
specific regional funds are created to reallocate
revenues from more developed states to less
developed ones.
26. ECONOMIC IMPLICATIONS OF INCREASING
INTEGRATION
• This way, development of the member states
is equalized, with less developed ones
developing faster, leading to an increase of
their earnings per capita and thus purchasing
more from more developed partner states.
• Consequently, economic integration unites
nations, leading them to prosper with each
other.
