The table illustrates information about how export values of various goods and services had changed in two consecutive years 2009 and 2010.
It is clear that there was a increase in the overall export values, and the figure for metals experienced the most noticeable changes. Additionally, while the trends for most sectors took an upward turn, the opposite patterns could be observed in clothing and manufacturing during the one year period.
Overall figure climbed from 32 billion dollars in 2009 to 38.4 billion dollars one year later. Specifically, in 2009, top of the list was the income from exporting equipment, with 10.3 billion dollars, followed by telecommunity with 8 billion dollars. While the former rose slightly by 13% to more than 11 billion dollars, the latter soared 60%, from 8 to 13 billion dollars in 2010.
A much more dramatic increase can be seen in the amount of money gained from selling metals, which stayed at 2.3 billion dollars in 2009 but then rocketed to just over 5 billion dollars in 2010. This meant that the figure experienced a surge of 120%. However, when it comes to clothing and manufacturing both these sectors saw decreases of 17% and 27% respectively.
