Question

Regional Economic Integration Threats (textbook) In a way, price differentials in the same economic integration would decline in a single market, especially if they use the same currency. True or False

Answer 1

Answer:

TRUE

Explanation:

The integration of countries from the same region into a trade bloc has the purpose of free movement of goods and services among lower-priced member countries. This is because from integration, countries give up tariffs and customs barriers, allowing products to be marketed to everyone at a lower cost, aiming at the common good. If countries use the same currency, the benefits of integration are even greater as they eliminate currency conversion costs.An example of this type of integration is the European Union, where products move freely between member countries and are sold in the same currency, the euro.
