The given two line graphs depict statistics that describe New Zealand’s imports from Australia and Japan in years 1994-2004. The amount of money spent on importing of goods was New Zealand dollars.
At a glance, both graphs illustrate fluctuation pattern throughout the indicated period of time. As a result of constant changes, amount of funds invested in imports from Australia underwent a rocket growth from 4000 million NZ$ to 8000 million NZ$ from 1994 to 2004, whereas Japan exhibited the opposite pattern as imports were steadily reduced from 3000 million NZ$ to 2000 million NZ$ over the same given period.
At some point, imports from Australia were superior. For instance, in the year of 2001, imports from Australia constituted 7000 million NZ$, while Japan contributed for nearly 3000 million NZ$ of import. In contrast, the year of 1999 featured the opposite trend as drastic gap was observed between imports from Japan and Australia ( 4000 and 3000 million NZ$ respectively).
In conclusion, Australia’s graph presented eventual rise and doubling in imports from 4000 milllion NZ$ in 1994 to 8000 million NZ$ in 2004, meanwhile Japan’s statistic data described eventual drop in imports from 3000 million in 1994 to 2000 million in 2004 after fluctuations.
