1. Intertwined World Economy
(contd.)
The larger the country’s domestic
economy, the less dependent it tends to be
on exports and imports relative to its GDP.
Intertwining of economies by the process
of specialization due to international trade
leads to job creation in both the exporting
and importing country.
Foreign direct investment (FDI) involves
investment in manufacturing and service
facilities in a foreign country.
