The table below illustrates the adjustments in export in the monetary unit of Hong Kong between 2009 and 2010.
Looking from an overall perspective, it is readily apparent that the metal goods sector had the largest increase, while manufacturing saw a decline.
As we can see from the table, the natural resources sector saw the most impressive increase, with a growth rate of 122%, adding 2.8 billion HKD to exports. Additionally, networking services reported a significant rise of 61%, and the equipment industry experienced steady growth of 13%.
In contrast, two sectors faced declines during this period. Clothing production fell by -17%, while overall manufacturing experienced a more considerable drop of -27%. These declines indicate challenges within these industries.
Despite declines in some sectors, total exports increased by 20%, which is an additional 6.4 billion HKD
