Concept Introduction:-

Free trade is encouraged by organizations like WTO to monitor the trade policies. It increases trade between the countries as well as promotes economic growth. Reducing trade barriers increases trade, and lowers prices for consumers.

Supply and demand are the backbone of a market economy. The price of a product or good is determined by the supply and demand. The higher the price the less is the demand whereas higher the price, higher is the supply. The demand curve shows a downward slope whereas the supply curve shows an upward slope.
