Introduction
Globalization provides a platform where developing countries can achieve trade relations with the world’s economic powers. Many countries have pushed for liberalization of their economic policies through the International Monetary Fund and World Bank as a means to achieve globalization and economic growth (Nicolas A. Pologeorgis, 2019). The relationship between globalization and economic growth have in recent times gained significant attention from several economic parties around the globe (Sabi, 2007). In this brief paper, I will discuss the reasons why I think globalization is a force that spurs development.
According to previous research conducted in a few developing countries, globalization emphasizes the importance of economic indicators to state corporations at all levels. Also, countries that prioritized the importance of foreign investment and merchandize trade in the international economy have improved and developed their economies. The study shows a fast improvement in the GDP and economic growth rate and foreign trade at international and regional levels due to the attraction of foreign investment. Also, data shows considerable growth in their economies is corresponds to an increase in Foreign Direct Investment inflows. (Moghaddam, 2012)
The policy of globalization has been enhanced by advancing technology, the development of better transport, and increased international cooperation. An increase in international trade as a product of globalization is a great factor in stimulating development in many developing countries.
