Over the recent decades, countries across the world have become more financially integrated as a result of potential gains of financial globalization. The potential benefits of financial globalization are much more than its risks.regarding the benefits of financial globalization which has been reviewed in this report, it is highly recommend that as a poor country should in any way possible try to engage with globalisation given that the benefits of such engagement is far greater than the risk.
