* Role of Small Countries
in Trade and GDP
*Increasing population in the country, make
the country to consume resources for the
country itself which in turn results in
degrading GDP of the country.
*Small countries tie up with large scale
countries in the environment to support the
trade activities in the environment (Burke,
and Csereklyei 2016).
*Small countries have adequate population in
the environment like Qatar, Iceland etc.

*Cont.
*Similarly, it should also be noted that
small countries with low population get
the advantage to trade their good and
services with other countries as they
successfully get to fulfil internal demand
and then rush to fulfil the demand of
neighbouring countries as well.
*This aspect increases prosperity for small
countries (Salas-Olmedo, García-Alonso,
and Gutiérrez 2016).

* Evaluation of Countries
with Industries
Singapore – Manufacturing and Tourism Industry
*The country Singapore aimed to organize its
actions in the worldwide market by contracting
with neighboring countries which subsequently
increased the level of trade in the market.
*Singapore country aimed to increase the level
of internal regulations so as to monitor the
activities of the country that helps them to
significantly trade without facing corruption in
the environment (Chandran 2018).

*Cont.
*There are two countries of Singapore that
increases its profitability in the
environment as the country gets the
advantage to sustain the functions beside
large scale countries like London etc. due
to which they share technology and
provide tourism as well as manufacturing
services in the environment. Tourism of
Singapore is extremely attractive
(Ridzuan, et. al., 2018).

* Puerto Rico –
Manufacturing Industry
*There are two countries of Singapore that
increases its profitability in the
environment as the country gets the
advantage to sustain the functions beside
large scale countries like London etc. due
to which they share technology and
provide tourism as well as manufacturing
services in the environment. Tourism of
Singapore is extremely attractive (Wagner
2017).

*Cont.
*The economy of Puerto Rico grows because
the country works under the hand of the
country US.
*Major rules are related to US norms to which

*The country also maintain good trade
relationship with all these countries having
large sale functions

* New Zealand –
Agriculture (export)
*New Zealand has resources that no other
country currently present has. So, the
country is one of the biggest exporters of
agricultural goods in the environment.
*The country is known for providing free
trade agreement in the environment. FTA

nations resources and well qualified
(Donaubauer, Meyer, and Nunnenkamp
2016).

standard of living
*The standard of the people present in
small countries obviously grow because of
the increasing level of profitability in the
environment.
*Small countries have less fighters present
in the race of profits so it provides them
advantage to immediately attain
competence in the environment (Cantore,
and Cheng 2018).
