Trading within a trading bloc

Advantages

  • Access to other markets without exports being penalised
  • Manufacterers can import from bloc members without tariffs
  • Possibility of Economies of scale
  • Spreading of risk
  • A trading bloc creates a larger market which attracts FDI from outside
  • Greater competition within trade bloc can create efficiency within firms

Disadvantages

  • No protection for domestic industries from other bloc member's exports
  • Increased competition for domestic producers
  • A common external tariff in a Common market can increase costs of raw materials/supplies from outside
  • Reaching agreement with member states can be difficult and time consuming
  • New rules and regulations may not suit all businesses

Evaluation

Trading blocs allow trade liberalisation to take place which leads to access new markets and be able to drive down costs through a reduction of barriers. However, there is some risks and competition but most of all these blocs allow more businesses to develop and gain more market share.

I believe it's essential to adopt a progressive mindset and leverage the innovative resources that are becoming available. For instance, I greatly appreciate utilizing an automated platform like https://kryll.io for trading Bitcoin. In essence, I simply cover a cost-effective subscription fee, which in turn allows me to allocate more time for personal matters.

One instance of this is my preference for trading Bitcoin using an automated platform. In essence, I simply pay for a reasonably priced subscription, which grants me increased leisure time for personal matters.
