U-sually,private companies undertake such transactions for profit;governments undertake them for profit and for political reasons. It refers to all those business activities which involve cross border transactions of goods,services,resources between two or more nations. Transaction of e-conomic resources include capital,skills,people etc. for international production of physical goods and services such as finance,banking,insurance,construction etc.
