Abstract

The article deals with the foreign trade geographical zones (FTGZ) – the regions under the strong economic influence of another state. In modern economic science, very little attention is paid to the group of criteria characterizing foreign economic activity, but, nevertheless, in combination with other measures, the development of regional foreign economic relations, undoubtedly, contributes to the development of the economies of countries and regions. The geographical structure of international trade is a system of distribution of trade flows between individual countries, groups of countries formed by territorial or organizational basis. In the study, the main indicator was taken as the foreign trade quota of the main trading partner. The Asia-Pacific region (APR) includes 61 countries and territories in Asia, the Americas, Australia and Oceania. There are several large FTGZ: American, Chinese, Australian, New Zealand, Singapore and Japanese. To characterize FTGZ in the study used the following indicators: number of countries and their share in GDP, foreign trade quota, export main trading partner, the share of exports in the center of FTGZ, the import of the main trading partner, the share of imports from the center of FTGZ, the difference between the shares of exports and imports to the center of FTGZ. As a result, all countries in the Asia-Pacific region were grouped into several groups.
