This document discusses trade barriers and their costs and benefits. It defines trade as the voluntary exchange of goods and services between countries, noting that both parties benefit. It then contrasts free trade with trade barriers such as tariffs, quotas, and embargoes. While trade barriers protect domestic industries and jobs, they ultimately raise prices for consumers and are discouraged by economists as they reduce overall standards of living. The document uses examples like EU tariffs and the US-Cuba embargo to illustrate different types of barriers.

This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

2. What is TRADE?
The voluntary exchange of goods and
services among people and countries.
Trade and voluntary exchange occur when
buyers & sellers freely and willingly engage
in market transactions.
When trade is voluntary and non-fraudulent,
both parties benefit and are better off after
the trade than they were before the trade.
3. Free Trade vs. Trade Barriers
Nations can trade freely with each other or
there are trade barriers.
Free Trade: Nothing hinders or gets in the way
from two nations trading with each other.
Sometimes countries complain about trade.
They say that too much trade causes
workers to lose jobs. Therefore, countries
sometimes try to limit trade by creating trade
barriers.
4. Should countries create trade
barriers that limit trade?
It is true that some workers in certain industries may be hurt
by trade.
For example, some US clothing workers have had to
change jobs during the past 30 years because many
clothes are now imported from other countries.
However, this trade allows people in the US to buy quality
clothing imports at good prices, which results in a higher
standard of living for people in the US and for our trading
partners.
For this reason, most economists agree that it is good to let
countries trade as much as possible.
5. Economic Trade Barriers
The most common types of trade barriers are
tariffs and quotas.
A tariff is a tax on imports (imports are goods
purchased from other countries and exports are
goods sold to other countries).
A quota is a specific limit placed on the number
of imports that may enter a country.
Another type of trade barrier is an embargo.
a complete trade block for a political purpose
6. Tariffs
A tariff is a tax put on goods imported from abroad.
The effect of a tariff is to raise the price of the imported
product.
It makes imported goods more expensive so that people
are more likely to purchase domestic products.
EXAMPLE: The European Union removes tariffs between
member nations and imposes tariffs on nonmembers.
7. Quotas
A quota is a limit on the amount of goods that can be
imported.
Putting a quota on a good creates a shortage, which causes
the price of the good to rise and makes the imported goods
less attractive for buyers. This encourages people to buy
domestic products, rather than foreign goods.
EXAMPLE: Brazil could put a quota on foreign made
shoes to 10,000,000 pairs a year. If Brazilians buy
200,000,000 pairs of shoes each year, this would leave
most of the market to Brazilian producers.
8. Embargos
Embargos are government orders which
completely prohibit trade with another
country.
If necessary, the military actually sets up a
blockade to prevent movement of merchant
ships into and out of shipping ports.
9. US-Cuban Trade Embargo
The embargo is the harshest type of trade barrier
and is usually enacted for political purposes to hurt
a country economically and thus undermine the
political leaders in charge.
EXAMPLE: The United States placed an embargo on
Cuba after the Cuban Missile Crisis. We do not trade with
Cuba—this is still in effect today.
10. Benefits of Trade Barriers
Most barriers to trade are designed to prevent
imports from entering a country.
Trade barriers provide many benefits
because they
protect homeland industries from competition.
protect jobs.
help provide extra income for the government.
increase the number of goods people can choose from.
decrease the costs of these goods through increased
competition.
11. Costs of Trade Barriers
Tariffs increase the price of imported goods.
Less competition from world markets means
there is an increase in the price.
The tax on imported goods is passed along
to the consumer so the price of imported
goods is higher.
