Specifically the economy part of it. Will this be good for certain countries like Trinidad or Jamaica?

Question is, do they have an alternative? And then, will they have another chance?\n\nI think is a second best where the best should be to develop before being swallowed by the CSME. Anyway Trinidad and Jamaica have the advantage of the language against Spanish speaking countries.

i dont think so. why would you think people in other countries and other cultures are lower than your country? based on what? money? standard of living? average population happiness level? stressfull level and divorce rate? number of criminal and prison? average disposable income? nuclear power? morale? spiritual? EQ? IQ?

A trade imbalance does not necessarily imply that there will be a negative effect on a country running either a trade deficit or a trade surplus, as there can be other factors within a nation's economy that allow that trade deficit (or surplus) to be beneficial.  The consequences of that trade imbalance may also be a short term benefit, but with adverse long term consequences.\n\nTaking the US economy as an example, it has been running a trade deficit for many years, as well as a budget deficit, yet it has enjoyed, in the near term, productivity growth, a strong employment market, high consumer confidence, and with the recent exception of gasoline, fairly low consumer prices.  While long term consequences, such as adverse effects from foreign purchasing of US debt, as well as the long term growth of the national debt causing problems in the future, in the short term, the trade deficit has overall  contributed to our economic well being.

I guess I like the United States because there is at least some semblance of freedom here, and economically, there is less suffering here. Even the poor people in the US are not that poor compared with many other countries in the world.

Investing money to develop agricultural areas into industrial zones is good---partly though.\n\nFirst of all, the Philippines is an agricultural nation. Perhaps some agricultural areas should be developed, but not all. Since it is an agricultural nation, it derives its economy from agriculture. If  these areas will be developed into industrial zones, a good part of the economy will be crippled.\n\nSecond, people who depend on agriculture for a living will lost their jobs. If their skills are only limited to agriculture, where will they go once these areas are industrialized? \n\nLastly, and this is just my opinion, if agricultural areas will be turned into industrial zones, and considering that the money comes from Western countries, the Philippines will then have a debt of gratitude to these nations. Meaning, its government will do whatever these nations will tell them to do. Another form of colonization, eh?\n\nIndustrialization is not bad as long as it is done with responsibility---which I doubt the Philippine government has. Yeah, I am disillusioned. I'm a Filipino too.

Of Course it would. All Credible Economist agree. Its a no brainer. Its better in everyway.\n\nThem sending money abroad is a loss for us. But the work they provide is much more valuable. A simple example.\nA worker gets payed 2000 a month, sends 500 and keeps 1500 to spend here. The work they do helps Developers Make Millions, then Spend their money here to make more money and on...  Its all part of the Global Enonomy. The family in mexico will probably use the money to buy Cells phones etc.. which are made by Motorola, a US company. Do you see ? its very complex and simple at the same time. Alot of people dont get it.

To find the economic situation of any country, the best resource, in my opinion, is the Economist's 'Country Briefings' section:\nhttp://www.economist.com/countries\n\nIt has political and economic information, forecasts, statistics, and recent articles covering what's new and important in each country.  I have never found a better research resource than this.

Depends.\nIt is a rather small amount if you're living in a developed country.\nHowever, if you are living in a developing country or less developed country, then it can change the standard of life quite dramatically.

I was not in Haiti for very long, but was so impressed that I am already saving up to go back...So I do not think that it is an awful place.\n    However I do believe that for Haiti to improve we must have corporations move into Haiti and take advantage of the cheap labour.  Then at least there would be a tax base for the government to use to help Haiti.  Right now there is very little that I think the government can do with no money, and the people need jobs.  We must also start visiting Haiti more often, as right now we have the UN there, eating food and spending money.  When they leave, things will be harder, there will be less employment as who will go and stay at all of these hotels....\n    We must work together and bring back the vacationers.

Handicrafts arnt the best example, to be honest. They are a very niche market and wouldnt be worth exporting. Think about cars or machinary parts or something big and worth a lot. Then just describe why other countries might buy them, how you would compete with the existing market in those countries, if there would be a sufficient market to make the export worthwhile and so on.

Unless you are planning to emigrate to the Caribbean, I suggest you get a mortgage in your Country of residence. You may loose a substantial amount of money over the years on currency exchange (if applicable) or at least with money transfers. Also, as a non resident you may end up paying much higher rates that you normally would in your home country. Good luck!

try the World Economic Outlook Database sponsored by the International Monetary Fund.  They show annual growth rates in GDP (Gross Domestic Product) for a lot of countries, including developing countries.  You can also look at regional aggregates
