Question 1 · 1 mark · Difficulty 1/3

What is meant by the term 'globalisation'?

  1. The policy of protecting domestic industries from foreign competition
  2. The movement of workers from rural to urban areas within a country
  3. The process of governments reducing taxation on businesses
  4. The increase in international trade, investment and cultural exchange between countries
Show answer & explanation
✓ Answer: D — The increase in international trade, investment and cultural exchange between countries
Award 1 mark for identifying globalisation as the increasing integration of economies through trade, investment and cultural links. A is incorrect — this describes protectionism, which opposes globalisation. B is incorrect — this describes internal migration/urbanisation, not globalisation. C is incorrect — tax reduction is a domestic fiscal policy, not a definition of globalisation.
Question 2 · 1 mark · Difficulty 1/3

The International Monetary Fund (IMF) was established after the Bretton Woods Conference in 1944. Which of the following best describes the primary purpose of the IMF?

  1. To promote international monetary cooperation and provide short-term financial assistance to countries with balance of payments difficulties
  2. To provide long-term development loans to reduce poverty in low-income countries
  3. To regulate international trade and resolve disputes between member countries
  4. To fund infrastructure projects such as roads and schools in developing economies
Show answer & explanation
✓ Answer: A — To promote international monetary cooperation and provide short-term financial assistance to countries with balance of payments difficulties
Award 1 mark. This is the founding purpose of the IMF agreed at Bretton Woods. Regulating international trade and resolving disputes between member countries is the role of the World Trade Organization, not the IMF. Funding infrastructure projects such as roads and schools describes the World Bank. Providing long-term development loans to reduce poverty in low-income countries describes the World Bank's International Development Association.

CIE IGCSE Economics: International Trade and Globalisation FAQ

Is Kramizo free for CIE IGCSE students preparing for Economics?
Yes — completely free. Every student gets 45 questions a day on the free plan, with no card required and no trial countdown. That free quota works across every subject and every topic in our bank, so you can mix International Trade and Globalisation practice with other Economics topics or even switch to a totally different CIE subject without paying anything. Kramizo's optional Pro plan removes the daily cap and adds detailed progress analytics, but the free tier is the real product — used by thousands of GCSE, IGCSE and CSEC students.
Are the International Trade and Globalisation questions aligned to the official CIE IGCSE Economics syllabus?
Every question is written against the published CIE IGCSE Economics specification, including the exact command words (state, describe, explain, calculate, evaluate, etc.), mark allocations, and difficulty tier you'd see on a real CIE paper. Explanations are written in the style of official examiner mark schemes — they tell you what is being awarded marks and why distractors are wrong, not just whether you got it right. The bank is continually refined to match the latest syllabus updates from CIE.
How is International Trade and Globalisation typically tested on CIE IGCSE Economics papers?
International Trade and Globalisation appears across multiple question types on real CIE IGCSE Economics papers — most commonly as multiple-choice questions in the objective section, structured short-answer questions in the main paper, and occasionally as part of an extended response. Kramizo's practice bank reflects that mix: 4-option MCQs, true/false statements, fill-in-the-blank key terms, multi-select questions, and ordering questions. Working through the bank gives you exposure to every question style examiners actually use.
