Trade and Commerce refers to the activities involved in the buying, selling, and exchange of goods and services between individuals, businesses, and nations. Trade typically focuses on the distribution and transfer of goods, whether domestic or international, and can take place on various scales, from local markets to global supply chains. Commerce encompasses not only trade itself but also the associated activities and services that facilitate trade, such as banking, insurance, logistics, and marketing.
The two can be distinguished by their scope: while trade specifically addresses the transactions of goods and services, commerce includes the broader framework that makes those transactions possible, such as regulatory frameworks, economic transactions, and financial systems.
Together, trade and commerce play a critical role in economic development, shaping markets, enabling the flow of resources, and fostering economic relationships between different actors in the economy. They are essential for the wealth creation and distribution of resources within and between societies.
