The table illustrates the financial donation in the USA, EU countries and other countries to developing nations between 2006 and 2010, measured in millions of dollars.
As can be seen from the table, there is a similar pattern for three categories in the five-year period in which the USA ranked first place, followed by the EU and lowest point by other countries.
What stands out first from the table is that every category experienced a decrease in 2009 over the period. There was a remarkable increase in the USA’s financial support for developing countries in each following year, rising from 9,8 millions in 2006 to 17 millions in 2008 before dropping to 16,8 millions in 2009. Then, the USA’s donating money rose to 20,3 millions of dollars by the end of the period.
Similarly, there was an upward trend for the other categories from 2006 to 2008. Nonetheless, in 2009, the financial donation of the EU and other countries both witnessed a drop, falling to 3,6 and 3,2 millions, respectively. In the last year of the period, the former recovered to 4,1 millions while the latter increased to 3,7 millions.
