European Economic Area (EEA)
The European Economic Area (EEA) extends the EU single market to non-EU member states Iceland, Liechtenstein, and Norway. It allows the free movement of goods, services, capital, and people, influencing trade and regulatory frameworks across member states.
Example
“Although Norway is not an EU member, its EEA membership means Norwegian financial firms can passport their services across the EU, and forex brokers regulated in Norway can serve clients throughout the single market.”
