World Trade Multinationals
1. Rapid growth of underdeveloped countries and new global marketing opportunities
2. Rising living standards have created marketing opportunities for firms
3. Resistance over domination of U.S. multinationals
4. Expropriation and domestication of U.S. investments in Latin America
5. In the Europe and Middle East U.S. multinationals were controlled tightly by protectionism laws
World Trade and U.S. Multinationals
1. Resurgence of competition from all over the world challenged the supremacy of American industry
2. Newly industrialized countries (NICs) such as Brazil, Mexico, South Korea, Taiwan, Singapore, and Hong Kong experienced rapid industrialization
3. Economic power evenly distributed with growth of MNCs from other countries
4. Establishment of the WTO5. Integration of European Union countries 6. Creation of NAFTA, AFTA, and APEC

Balance of Payments
1. When countries trade there are financial transactions among businesses or consumers of different nations
2. Money constantly flows into and out of a country 3. The system of accounts that records a nation’s international
financial transactions is called its balance of payments (BP)4. It records all financial transactions between a country’s firms,
and residents, and the rest of the world usually over a year 5. The BP is maintained on a double-entry bookkeeping system
Balance of PaymentsThe BP is the difference between receipts and payments
•merchandise and Oil export sales.
•money spent by Hajj and Umrah visitors.
•transportation.
•payments of dividends and interest from FDI abroad.
•new foreign investments in the Saudi Arabia.
BP Receipts
•costs of goods imported.
•spending by Saudi tourists overseas.
•new overseas investments.
•cost of foreign military and economic aid.
BP Payments
Balance of PaymentsThe BP includes three accounts:
(1) current account—a record of all merchandise exports, imports, and services plus unilateral transfers of funds;

(2) the capital account—a record of direct investment, portfolio investment, and short-term capital movements to and from countries;

(3) the official reserves account—a record of exports and imports of gold, increases or decreases in foreign exchange, and increases or decreases in liabilities to foreign central banks;

Balance of Payments and Exchange Rate
1. If a country’s expenditures consistently exceed its income, its standard of living falls
2. Its exchange rate vis-à-vis foreign monies declines3. When foreign currencies can be traded for more Rupees Indian
products are less expensive for foreign customers and exports of Saudi goods increase
4. Simultaneously foreign products are more expensive for Indian buyers and the demand for imported goods is reduced
Protectionism: Logic and Illogic
Countries use protectionist measures to shield a country’s markets from intrusion by foreign competition and imports.Countries use protectionist measures to shield a country’s markets from intrusion by foreign competition and imports.
Arguments for Protectionism include:
1. maintain employment and reduce unemployment.2. increase of business size, and 3. retaliation and bargaining.4. protection of the home market. 5. need to keep money at home.6. encouragement of capital accumulation.7. maintenance of the standard of living and real wages.8. conservation of natural resources.9. protection of an infant industry 10. industrialization of a low-wage nation 11. national defense

The Impact of Tariff (Tax) Barriers
Tariff Barriers tend to Increase:1. Inflationary pressures2. Special interests’ privileges3. Government control and political considerations in
economic matters4. The number of tariffs they beget via reciprocity

Monetary Barriers
In addition to the Six Types of Non-Tariff Barriers, monetary barriers are also used by countriesIn addition to the Six Types of Non-Tariff Barriers, monetary barriers are also used by countries
Three types of monetary barriers include:
1. Blocked currency: Blockage is accomplished by refusing to allow importers to exchange its national currency for the sellers’ currency.
2. Differential exchange rates: It encourages the importation of goods the government deems desirable and discourages importation of goods the government does not want by adjusting the exchange rate. The exchange rate for importation of a desirable product is favorable and vice-versa
3. Government approval: In countries where there is a severe shortage of foreign exchange, an exchange permit to import foreign goods is required from the government

General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT)
1. GATT created as an agency to serve as watchdog over world trade and provide a process to reduce tariffs
2. GATT also provided a mechanism to resolve trade disputes bilaterally
GATT covers three basic areas:1. trade shall be conducted on a nondiscriminatory basis; 2. protection shall be afforded domestic industries
through customs tariffs, not through such commercial measures as import quotas; and
3. consultation shall be the primary method used to solve global trade problems.

3. GATT now replaced by the World Trade Organization
World Trade Organization (WTO)
The objective is to reduce tariffs and other barriers to trade and to eliminate discrimination in trade
Principles of WTO non-discrimination Progressive reduction in tariff and non-tariff
barriers Solving trade disputes through consultation rather
than retaliation

The International Monetary Fund (IMF)
1. IMF was created to assist nations in becoming and remaining economically viable
2. It assists countries that seek capital for economic development and restructuring (providing liquidity)
3. IMF loans come with stipulations that borrowing countries slash spending and impose controls to curb inflation
4. It helps maintain stability in the world financial markets5. Permanent members are USA, Germany, UK, France, Japan
Saudi Arabia and China. 15 are elected
Objectives of the IMF include:1. stabilization of foreign exchange rates 2. establish convertible currencies to
facilitate international trade3. lend money to members in financial
trouble
