  1. Being close to their markets. These multinationals cut cost and gather more accurate data when they operate near their markets. 


  2. Lower Production Cost. Locating in the Caribbean often present MNCs with cheaper production costs.


  3. To avoid local laws. Multinationals move their operations out of their home country in order to avoid laws affecting them. For example; countries with Antitrust laws encourage competition with the prevention of monopolies and mergers. 

4.    Government policy. Governments may           
       implement fiscal and monetary policies that                   
       encourage the growth of MNCs in order to
       foster economic growth and investments.


5.    To be shielded by tariff-protected markets.
       Multinationals set up operations in CARICOM 
       countries and take advantage of free trade 
       within the region while being protected from 
       competition outside the region.

Globalisation has caused an increase in unemployment as small businesses are forced to shut down due to stiffer competition. Similarly, there has been a depletion of local resources due to a high demand of non-renewable resources being overused. Additionally, the opening of markets may make countries susceptible to illegal drug trade and money laundering, which can lead to an increase in criminal activities in those countries. Lastly, globalisation cause small Caribbean countries to become vulnerable to global or external shocks which may lead to economies performing poorly.]]> 2019-11-26 16:10:05 UTC https://padlet.com/rhianvitalis/un0tp0swvzxx/wish/416748349 What is an Extractive Industry? rhianvitalis https://padlet.com/rhianvitalis/un0tp0swvzxx/wish/416761872 The extractive industry consists of any operations that remove metals, mineral and aggregates from the earth.

This can be done through privatisation, the port can use concession contracts introducing private participation, or sell the seaports assets to the private sector in order to limit the use of public funds and generate more funds to run the organisation. ]]> 2019-11-29 00:36:49 UTC https://padlet.com/rhianvitalis/un0tp0swvzxx/wish/417618151
