What are the possible vulnerabilities in a country's economic structure, and how can they be exploited to gain an unfair advantage?
user
Possible vulnerabilities in a country’s economic structure include lack of fair taxation, overly complicated and opaque regulation, weak labor protections, outdated infrastructure, insufficient competition policy enforcement and the ability for governments to subsidize inefficient industry. Countries can exploit these vulnerabilities by setting up shell companies with poor operating standards or employing non-compliance measures such as artificial tax havens and transfer pricing, resulting in unfair profits.

1. Exchange rate manipulation can be used to reduce a country's export costs, which gives them a competitive advantage in global markets.
2. Tax havens create incentives for companies to register their profits in low-tax countries - allowing them to avoid paying taxes on these earnings.
3. Currency mismatch allows speculators to make a profit by using borrowed currency on one exchange and quickly buying another currnecy with it at a higher rate - allowing them to pocket the difference as profit. 
4. Currency-devaluation is an inflationary policy that reduces the purchasing power of money earned from exports, thus giving local businesses a competitive advantage over foreign competition by making exports cheaper than previously and attractive to imports domestically produced goods and services become relatively more expensive, reducing the demand for foreign products).
