1. Principal imports and exports
2. Gross national product (GNP)
3. Demographics of the population
4. Per capita income

Based on your required reading for the week and using the appropriate data compiled in the table as support, define the target market and recommend products (goods or services) that you see potential for in that specific country. Use two to three scholarly sources as references. Your paper should be two to three pages in length (not including title and references pages) and formatted using APA style as outlined in the Ashford Writing Center..
