The chart illustrates how much money was made by exporting five different products, namely equipment, telecommunity, clothing, manufacturing, and metals between 2009 and 2010.
Overall, there were increases in the export values of equipment, telecommunity and metals, while decreases were seen in clothing and manufacturing. In addition, metals were by far the most dramatic rise.
Looking first at equipment, telecommunity and metals, they both witnessed significant growth in export earnings. In 2009, money from the export sales of equipment started at 10.3 billion, which accounted for nearly a third of total export revenue (32 billion) and also ranked first among the five products, followed by telecommunity with 7.9 billion. In the next year, they both saw a dramatic rise in their export earnings, but the figure for telecommunity increased more considerably (61%), which is three times as high as the percentage of overall change, and surpassed that for equipment to become the highest export value in that year. Meanwhile, the lowest level was seen in the data for metals, at 2.3 billion in 2009, after which it grew twofold and turned into the third highest export revenue in 2010.
Moving on to clothing and manufacturing, there were decreases in the export values of these products. The figures for both goods were quite similar, standing at 6 billion and 5.5 billion, respectively, in 2009 before dropping to 5 billion and 4 billion in respectively, which were the smallest levels in the next year.
