The current situation
International trade
Figure 3.8 shows a map of total foreign trade as a
percentage of GDP. In several Eastern European countries total foreign trade (import plus
export) is larger than GDP, indicating their dependence of engaging in international trade
patterns. It is not surprising that foreign trade is less important in larger countries such as
Canada, United States of America and the Russian Federation. In these countries the home‐
market is large enough to create a sufficient demand for most goods and every industry is
typically represented.
