The development of information technologies of the internet has connected the world markets, boosting the economic transactions between the countries. Globalization has a financial and productive character. By financial logic financial markets are interconnected. By the productive logic, globalization allowed companies to produce in more than one country, which facilitated the flow and opened new markets.
