The Risk of Trade With India
Primary Concerns:
Over the course of the last decade, the once stagnant Indian economy had become among the fastest growing in the global community. The opening doors of free trade have made India a top destination for high-tech companies, a major service industry provider and host to countless foreign trade and production endeavors. However, just as its fortunes have improved with the proliferation of globalization, so too have its recent fortunes felt the decline of the global recession. As reported in an article from Businessline, Chennai, "due to the difficult financing conditions prevailing in the international credit markets and increased risk aversion by the lending counterparties, gross inflows of short-term trade credit to India declined in 2008-09 and this trend continued in 2009-10." (Anonymous, p. 1)
Still, India remains an economy rife with growth potential for foreign investors. An important factor in this environment, however, is management risk. Today, the opportunities possible in the developing economy are counterbalanced by no small degree of difficulty. As in most developing countries, the market controls that will ultimately come with true achievement of 'developed' status are still a nu mber of years away. As a result, one must risk the perils of an underdeveloped market,...
(2010), which surveys the experiences of a number of Canadian businesspersons invested in endeavors in India. Their various experiences help lend credence to the concern that foreign investors face an especially high risk of exploitation. Accordingly, the article by Gill et al. (2010) points out that "the findings suggest that perceptions of the political and legal nature, corruption, confiscation, and economic risk can hinder investments and may lead to capital losses on investments in the Indian real estate market." (p. 1)
Indeed, the research indicates that one of the biggest obstacles to achieving the anticipated gains in the Indian market actually has less to do with the downturn in the global economy than with an array of challenges specific to India or, at least, to the developing sphere. For any foreign companies seeking to invest and expand in Indian markets, it must be with designs to insulate and protect against the many forces that might otherwise undermine their objectives.
Minimizing the Risk:
On the surface, these factors combine to render a rather unfavorable view of conducting foreign trade or investment in India. However, this is somewhat misleading, or at least only conveys a…

Financing Foreign Trade The promising prospects of Asian economies and to be specific China has endeared many business enterprises the world over to trade with it. China's trade volume totals 1.4 trillion U.S. dollars while its export amounts to 762 billion U.S. dollars (Alomar, 2007). This paints a rosier picture of foreign trade. That is not a true representation especially for small businesses that undertake to engage in foreign trade. Such
Bangladesh has made considerable progress in economic reform and growth, making the country a fairly attractive destination for international trade. In the 2015 economic freedom index, Bangladesh scored 53.9 points and was ranked the 131st freest economy in the world (Heritage, 2017). Though Bangladesh’s economy has moved from “repressed” status, significant deficiencies in the progress of reform remain. The country is still characterised by corruption, an inefficient judicial system, weak
"In the case of arms trafficking," they advise, "there are arms dealers eager to sell AK-47s to conflict zones all over the world.

Foreign Monetary System A monetary system is any structure initiated by the government and mandated to issue currency, acknowledged as the medium of exchange by its citizens and governments of other nations. The central bank manages the monetary system of a country; this same bank has the responsibility of printing money and controlling the economy. Since the colonial period, coins from the European colonies had circulated in all the colonies. The
