As we are in the 21st century, we are concentrating on a single, unified world. Developed countries as well as developing countries are all striving to give up protectionism and open their door for free trade. They are concentrating on reducing trade barrier that exist today.

Because of free trade, countries are now able to import goods freely.
Domestic companies now have to compete with foreign companies and are therefore forced to reduce their cost of production and to achieve economies of scale. Besides, free trade helps developing between the developing countries and the developed countries. Earlier there were certain restriction or barriers for importing goods to developed countries. But with more emphasis being put on free trade, the import quota or tariffs have been reduced or eliminated. This has encouraged developing countries to focus on these areas in which they have comparative advantage and export their goods to other countries.Moreover free trade helps developing countries reduce inflation.
