  • Free trade:
    It eliminates all the limitations imposed on trade. Keen attention is paid to the demand and supply of products to facilitate smooth production process.

    Executed in the form of tariffs and quotas, Protectionism is to impose appropriate guidelines which will ease the proper functioning of the market. This is done because the improper working of market can hamper the growth of international trade.
