17. What Is International Trade?
International trade is the exchange of goods and services between
countries. This type of trade gives rise to a world economy, in which
prices, or supply and demand, affect and are affected by global
events. Political change in Asia, for example, could result in an
increase in the cost of labor, thereby increasing the manufacturing
costs for an American sneaker company based in Malaysia, which
would then result in an increase in the price that you have to pay to
buy the tennis shoes at your local mall. A decrease in the cost of
labor, on the other hand, would result in you having to pay less for
your new shoes.

18. FOCUS OF BRICS FORUM
To establish a development bank to balance the influence of the world bank
and IMF, as well as creating a joint forging exchange reserve.

19. Rising impact of the BRICSs in global financial
markets
• The US current account deficit (capital imports) and the current
account surplus (capital exports) of emerging and oil producing
countries including the BRICS’s capital movements run counter to
the "common assumption” that capital flows from developed
countries to developing countries.
• Recent capital exports by emerging countries stem mainly from
rising foreign exchange reserves.

20. NEW DEVELOPMENT BANK
• Formed on July 2014 and came into force in July 2015. Earlier
known as “ BRICS Development Bank”.
• Headquarter in Shanghai.
• 1st president from India & Chairman of Board of Directors from
Brazil and Chairman of Board of Governors from Russia.
• Unlike the world bank which assigns vote based on capital share, In
the NDB each participant country will be assigned one vote.
• NDB is source of rising strength of BRICS & against the domination
of western countries through WORLD BANK & IMF
