"The Company faces several challenges in the coming financial years, including managing subsidiary operations in a volatile and changing environment. The fact that much of the growth potential for the Company is found in its foreign subsidiaries implies that it will have to find ways to finance operations through local avenues increasingly going forward. As the strength of the British pound become diluted closer to historical norms over time, the growth in subsidiaries should allow to the Company to increase both its operating and profit performance. Therefore, the coming year should represent significant opportunities to positively impact future growth with management's efforts to capitalize on market challenges around the world."

From the Paper
"In order to solve the problem posed by abroad purchases, GlaxoSmithKline has to reevaluate their pricing strategies within the United States. They explained that the discrepancy between prices in Canada and the prices in U.S. is due to different living standards and the two country's different GDPs. However, they have to understand that their primary consumers, that are the senior citizens, cannot afford the high prices on the U.S. market. In a first stage, the strategy might generate additional costs, but on the long run, it is the best strategy."

From the Paper
"International finance is not a new concept; it existed from way back in the 19th century (Scheja, 2011). Things were much harder then as the markets had no international institutions that regulated the capital market. Attempts to design an international trade and monetary system finally started to fall into place in the 20th century after the Second World War though they were still not comprehensive and had a lot of hurdles at the time. This is mostly because the pioneers of this had no experience in international trade, but this has continually been improved over the years. This paper is going to discuss the history of international finance in the United States, and the major themes that surround it such as the country's exchange rates, organization of the domestic financial system and international capital flow, and the major issues affecting their financial activity at the present time."

"International trade is an important factor in stimulating growth in the U.S. economy. Most economists agree that international trade and the theories of absolute advantage as well as comparative advantage, as they relate to international trade boost economic growth and improve the standard of living of the average American.

Abstract
In this article, the writer looks at the central bank, which is one of the most important institutions in a country and whose main responsibility is the national monetary policy. The writer notes that many countries can improve the efficiency of their foreign currency reserve by investing the money and generating a return. The writer also points out that, on a global level, the increased efficiency of a central bank's use of reserve would translate into a reduction of financial crises, which would allow institutions such as the International Monetary Fund to redirect its funds to countries that are not yet capable to reach financial stability as well as design policies for those countries targeting their future stability. The writer notes that these are usually third world countries or developing countries with endemic corruption and political instability.

From the Paper
"A healthy reserve policy can overcome financial crises, such as those related to the country's balance sheet. Korea stands as a good example in this direction with its 1997 crisis. Investment banks started to borrowed short maturity foreign currencies and invested them in Korean won assets after the market deregulation in 1990. The same banks invested in foreign securities Russian bonds and by the end of 1997 the value of these obligations exceeded Korea's foreign currency reserves. In the context of a general fall of Asian currencies, the investors started to sell the Korean won, which eventually devaluated the national currency and forced the authorities to resort to the International Monetary Fund. The problem was not that Korean wasn't solvent, but that it wasn't liquid and this crisis could have been avoided, if the authorities hadn't let the national liquidity deteriorate so much since the beginning of 1990s."
