Background info:

Economic globalisation can be defined as an increasing flow of goods and services, capital and labour between growing numbers of countries. It is the ever increasing integration of the world’s local, regional, and national economies into a single international market.

Your task: to be completed individually:

Choose a country of your choice. You may choose from any economy which is a member of the WTO or has gained observer status. Please see https://www.wto.org/english/thewto_e/countries_e/org6_map_e.htm to choose a country (any country in Green or Yellow can be chosen)
Research on the macroeconomic indicators of this country and present it in the form of a table. Look at indicators for National Output/Income, Inflation, Unemployment, Current Account Balance, Inequality, and Exchange Rates.
Analyse how globalisation has affected these macroeconomic indicators i.e whether globalisation has been good or bad for the macroeconomic indicators. This will have to be in a researched report form and supported by graphs. In-text citations are required.
Evaluate whether more (or less) globalisation will be beneficial? This section also has to be in a researched report form and supported by graphs. In-text citations
