Description
Summary:Recent developments in the field of international trade and investments worldwide have led to contemporary literature that encompass international trade in goods and services, trade policies, bilateral and regional free trade agreements (FTAs) as well as multilateral trading arrangements, trade facilitation measures, and foreign direct investment (FDI) policies. Given the increasing significance of multilateral trade and FDI flows between regions in recent years, there is a need of further research especially for developing countries like the Philippines. As such, it will be possible to develop efficient trade and investment policies, which relate to inclusive growth and development. Results suggest that the Philippines needs to maximize the economic gains and mitigate the economic costs associated with freer international trade in goods and services; more memberships in bilateral and regional FTAs; greater flows and volatility in FDIs; and a more liberal trading and investment environment.
