Underlying Principles Of The International Barter Exchange

By Leslie Ball


Early man economic life was all about direct exchange of goods for goods probably because wants were very limited and man could satisfy himself with all he produced. Nowadays, things are a bit complex and there is a need for international barter exchange since countries cannot do with the little resource they produce.

Countertrade is considered as a way to represent the joint world trading system as well as the economic welfare of the countries concerned. It is also believed to facilitate the development in most member countries. It is seen to eventually lead to increased world trade.

It help in easing the pressure of debt collection. Businesses can now offer the debtors the option to pay up their debts using merchandise or services. This will go a long way in recovering debts which probably would never be paid up or would cost you more in the process of recovering.

Barter exchanges are potentially valuable tool for expanding the customer base. It is a way of contacting and acquiring new customers. By developing mutual trust, companies eventually engage into serious business transactions between one another.

The global bartering helps the business to earn a retail value. This only happen only when incurring a valuable cost. For instance a hotel giving out its accommodation for this form of trade will incur expenses through cleaning services yet earn credit from retail value for the rooms.

Barter trade is normally used when a country is a foreign currency is in short of supply or when a country apply foreign exchange control procedures. These include the limits imposed on the availability of foreign currencies to importers for the purpose of purchasing a foreign product.

Bartering is ideal for companies and businesses who want to drop off some of their excess goods with a financial benefit in return. They can trade their goods and services which add value to their business at large. This will help them increase their returns as well as achieving their organizational goals.

The economy of the foreign country purchasing the goods benefits from the direct offset but the purchaser does not necessarily benefit. The main objective is to eliminate the trade imbalance between importing and exporting countries. Both of the countries take advantage of its products to improve its economy at large.

It is also important to study the size of the trade made within that particular network. This will help you find a company willing to trade the commodity you require. This will require you to compare financial aspects to ensure that the business you engage in is of financial importance to your business. Geographical location is an important factor for companies engaging in global barter exchange. For the smaller businesses, they may require a close proximity from another. This helps to ensure that the business relationship is financially viable.
