Explain how the 'liberalisation of foreign trade and foreign investment policy' acts as a catalyst for globalisation.

Answer: Liberalisation refers to the removal of trade barriers or restrictions set by the government, such as import taxes and quotas. By removing these barriers, goods can be imported and exported easily, and foreign companies are allowed to set up factories and invest in the country. This integrates domestic markets with global markets, thereby accelerating globalisation.

Solution

Liberalisation involves removing government-imposed restrictions on trade and foreign investment. It facilitates smoother cross-border movement of goods, services, capital, and technology, integrating economies globally.
