A lot of specialists are certain that we contemporarily still live in the era of the international crisis. Owing to various problems on the property market in the USA their prices have been considerably reduced. Even though this happened at first only in the USA, it spread thanks to such channels like trade also to other countries, even those situated hundreds of kilometers from North America.

Nevertheless, according to different statistics prepared for example by Eurostat or United Nations, we can discover that majority of world economies have considerably improved their condition since 2009 when the crisis started. It is indicated inter alia by the fact that the level of the exchange of goods has also substantially improved since then. The reason why it is important for a lot of companies is that some of them doesn’t have different resources and have to import them from other countries. Nonetheless, generally they also have something to offer, starting from money and ending on various other resources. In similar case the trade happens. Mostly it is related to negotiations, which is likely to be a really demanding process, especially when both sites are properly prepared and have experienced members. Despite the fact that it can be pretty difficult to reach a compromise, we need to also be aware of the fact that at present due to a number of diverse changes, the exchange of goods got significantly easier.

One of the most crucial factors in this field is European Union and creation of so-called Schengen zone, which means that EU citizens can move across the borders without being controlled. Similar situation is referred to products that can be sent across various countries that belong to the Schengen zone without additional expenses. As a result, as we can see from the points mentioned above, despite the fact that the crisis started some years ago, great percentage of countries have managed to recover from it and nowadays they tend to intensify the amount of commodities that are exchanged between them.
