There are several differences between international transactions and domestic transactions , such as exchange policies ,commercial policies ,different domestic policies ,statistical data ,relative immobility of productive factors ,marketing considerations and so on.
First, exchange rate ,an exchange rate is the price of one currency in terms of another ,it is used to translate values from one currency to another .International transactions require payments or receipts in foreign currencies ,and these may be converted to the domestic currency through the exchange rate.
Second, commercial policies , which are governmental measures designed to influence the country’s international transactions.

Third, domestic policies, each country has its own central bank and finance ministry, and hence its own monetary and fiscal policies. These in turn determine its rate of inflation, economics growth, and unemployment. They vary from one another.
