COMPARISON OF TRADE

POLICY

A free trade is one which does not impose any restriction on the exchange of goods and services between different countries.

A free trade policy involves complete absence of tariffs, quotas, exchange restrictions, taxes and subsidies on production, factor use and consumption.

A protective trade policy pursued by a country seeks to maintain a system of trade restrictions with the objective of protecting the domestic economy from the competition of foreign products.

Many of the underdeveloped countries continue to have protective trade policies even today.
