Question on security returns

Security returns are found to be less correlated across countries than in a country. Why can it be?
Security returns are less correlated possibly because countries are distinct from each other in terms of industry structure, macroeconomic policies, and resource endowments and have non-synchronous business cycles. Securities through a same country are subject to the similar business cycle and macroeconomic policies, therefore causing high correlations among their returns.
