Question

The island country of Mauritius is small but has lowered its barriers for international trading partners. Its location in the Indian ocean is close to Madagascar and the African continent. Mauritius trades between countries close by, and larger countries such as India. How does Mauritius benefit from lowering its trading barriers?

1)


Workers and companies can now specialize in competitive areas because other goods and services are imported through international trade.


2)

3)

Answer 1

Workers and companies can now specialize in competitive areas because other goods and services are imported through international trade.
