The chart illustrates the amount of capital invested by citizens of an unnamed country from 2001 to 2006.
The underlying message from the data seems to be that, the quantity of money spent on both bonds and stocks only grew. Despite this, the total amount of expenditure on stocks was higher than on bonds.
Stocks received 210 billion in 2001, which then increased steadily from 216 billion to 227 billion in the next two years. After a massive resurgence to a high point of 289 billion in 2004 the figures reach 297 billion in 2005 and made up 311 billion by the end of the period.
In 2001, people invested 100 billion on bonds which drew up to 123 billion in 2002. Similar pattern as in stocks can be seen in bonds when the figures rose significantly to 157 billion in 2003 and increased continuously in the following years, totaling 188 billion in 2006.
