Surrey International Trade Awards

The Surrey Board of Trade is proud to have initiated this event, which shows that Surrey businesses are part of the global
economic equation. Countries cannot live in isolation; they must mutually share their prosperity and technical know-how and undertake trade to sell their surplus products. The world economy is interdependent, and economic progress depends upon its ties with other countries.
The Economic Advantage of International Trade:
- Monetary gains to the respective country indulging in trade.
- More variety of goods available for consumers.
- Better quality of goods.
- Competition is both at the international and local levels.
- Closer ties between nations.
- More exchange of technical know-how.
- Local producers will try to improve the quality of their products.
- Increase in employment locally.
