The role of aid and trade in promoting growth and development
Aid means richer countries giving money or resources to poorer ones. Trade means countries buying and selling goods with each other. Both can help less-developed economies grow and improve living standards.
Real World
Bangladesh's garment industry, which supplies brands like H&M and Zara, lifted millions out of poverty through export-led growth — demonstrating how trade integration can drive development faster than aid alone.
Exam Focus
Distinguish 'aid' from 'trade' clearly; examiners penalise conflation — always specify the type of aid (bilateral, multilateral, tied) in your answer.
Price Elasticity of Demand
