The bar delineates the proportion of money sent by six nations to support developing countries in a three-year period from 2008 to 2010.
Overall, the amount of financial aid sent by the US dominated the chart, which was followed by Germany, UK, and Japan while the other two such as Netherland and Sweden remained as minors. This suggests a change in the economic strategy, in which natural resources and labor force in developing countries can be efficiently utilized.
Looking at the chart more closely, one can see that in 2008, roughly 20 billion were sent to support third world nations by the US’s government. Although this number had slightly decreased by one figure in 2009 due to the global economic crisis, it later on climbed to approximately 25 billion by 2010.
Considering the remaining nations, their financial aid fluctuated throughout the period. While Germany accumulated from nearly 10 to 15 billion through time, UK and Japan’s aid reduced to around 10 billion in 2009; however, this number slightly climbed, surpassing the previous funding one year later. As for Netherland and Sweden, their proportions remained below 10 billion, although in 2009, they were two of only three countries whose aid inclined while others declined.
