Features of formation of competitive advantages of developed countries in the world market.

Abstract

Presents the current trends of the world market, that determine the level of international competitiveness of the developed countries of the world: the liberalization of world trade; alignment positions of developed and industrialized economies, the total distancing from economies with slow growth; the information economy and the increase in the share of services in world trade patterns. In the context of globalization of the world economy are determined features of formation of the competitive advantages of the developed countries in the world market. Their transition to the post-industrial stage of social development ensures openness and dependence on the cyclical crises of the world economy, but the global trade surplus provides the proper supply of financial stability. Developed countries are the source of structural changes in world trade in goods and services - lag behind the countries with economies in transition in terms of quantity, but exceed them in terms of quality (share of high-tech exports, the share of services in foreign trade). They are characterized by export-oriented national economy, the availability of hightech industries, dependence on fuel imports. International competitiveness of the developed countries is the result of multi-level structural reforms, technological and socio-economic development.
