Global Economic Influence

International institutions, such as economic organizations and multinational corporations, can significantly impact global economic activity in various ways:

Lending money to businesses and providing financial support in times of crisis (for international economic organizations). Distributing or importing items globally (for multinational corporations). Resolving trade disputes between nations and encouraging fair commerce by guaranteeing that trade activity and fair services are distributed equally. Setting the international agenda, mediating political bargaining, giving a platform for political initiatives, and forming coalitions, making it easier for member countries to collaborate and coordinate.

The Philippines' role in the interconnected global economic activities includes:

Sharing its products by importing and exporting with other countries, which can help the country gain a technological advantage. Borrowing money from international economic organizations, and some of these organizations becoming investors or shareholders in particular companies.

Regarding Kubota Corporation's global economic activities, the company is outstanding in producing machinery that supports food, water, and environmental needs. It is crucial for the Philippines to become globally competitive in terms of agricultural products and increase production to support the supplies needed for the country.
