Doctor of Economic Sciences, Associate Professor, Professor department of Economics and National Economy Management, Oles Honchar Dnipro National University Today all countries of the world more or less participate in the processes of globalization of integration into the world economy. Typically, the level of the country's economic openess is acceptable if the export quota (ECU) is over 10%. As for the import quota, it is appropriate to note the following. First of all, this indicator gives an idea of the scale of the relationships between the individual national economies and the world market. This quota is an important economic indicator of the country, characterizing the importance of importing goods for a national economy [1]. The analysis of exports, imports and GDP, as well as the export, import and foreign trade quota of Poland and the Netherlands, is presented in Tables 1 and 2. Table 1.

The peak was reached in 2013 at 62.19. As for the import quota, there is a significant dependence of the country on imports, the import record was reached in 2015. As for the foreign trade quota, the contribution of export-import operations to the GDP of the country tended to increase in the period from 2011 to 2013, then there was a sharp decline and decrease. This is most likely due to a change in the trade policy from an open and liberal to a more protective one. Table 2.

In the course of the analysis period, we see that the export quota is increasing from 34.04 to 41.37%, reglecting that the Polish economy is increasingly integrated into the world economy and is becoming more open economy. The analysis period showed that the Polish economy has become more dependent on imports, increasing the import quota in 2011 from 34.58% to 41.37% in 2016. Analyzing foreign trade quotas, the following should be noted. For 6 years this indicator has grown from 36.97% to 41.37%. Accordingly, it follows that the contribution to GDP of exportimport has increased significantly, and therefore the economy of this country has become more open and integrated into the world economy. Table 3 shows the globalization index of KOF. Based on the analysis of KOF index in Poland, we see that there is a gradual increase in both the general index and all its components. In the case of the Netherlands, it is appropriate to emphasize that this country is always in the top of the most globalized countries, due to its developed economy, infrastructure and geographical location. During the period there are no significant changes. All indicators are at the same level with a difference of a few tenths. It will be appropriate to emphasize that the significant changes in the index of globalization for developed countries is much more complicated, because at the time of the creation of this indicator, these countries have already been integrated maximally into the world economy. It is impossible to follow large changes.

The Netherlands is more dependent on foreign trade than Poland. The Netherlands export quota reaches almost 50%, unlike 41,37% in Poland in 2016. However, Poland has become more import-dependent. Poland, in contrast to the Netherlands, is continuing to increase the indicators of "economic globalization". To date, the Netherlands has been pursuing more moderate foreign trade policy and trying to protect itself from external risks by focusing on an internal market with high purchasing power. On the contrary, Polish politics tries to focus on the new markets for its products in order to increase the prosperity and well-being of its citizens. Poland as a country and an economic entity has made a qualitative leap in its development. The economy of this country has become more open and integrated into the world economy. References: 1.
