essay. An increase in tax revenue is one of the biggest advantages for these global institutions. The government incomes can be increased by the value addition of tax and corporate tax collection from these big corporations worldwide, which authorities can spend on the country's infrastructural development

Furthermore

, is preparing 100 export processing zones to attract foreign funds, where 10 million people will be employed.
On the other hand

, these international institutions pollute the local environment from their production waste. Disposable-waste materials related to production pollutes water and air, which increases different health-related diseases to the local community as most global organisations do not try to clean up their manufacturing procedures.
Moreover

, establishing sweatshops where child labourers work at poor pay tarnish the brand image in local media of these global firms, which does not help the developing states either because of bad press. Bad press in local media of multinationals had resulted in withdrawals of business from poor economic areas.

then

it could hurt the interest of the developing nations.
