This meant that the value of currencies would now be determined by the markets instead of individual governments. Over
2、the next two decades, countries slowly began to remove their exchange controls. By 1990, nearly all major economies had got rid of restrictions on how much money could be moved in and out their countries. Other factors contributing to the rise of globalization are new communications technologies, an
