Band 9: The table shows the amount of money given to developing countries by the USA, EU countries and other countries from 2006 to 2010 (Figures are in millions of dollars).

The table illustrates the expenditure on national development by the USA, EU, and other countries during the period from 2006 to 2010.

Overall, the USA’s expenditure was the highest among the three entities for the entire five-year period. In contrast, the funding provided by other countries consistently had the lowest figures across all regions.

In 2006, the amount of money from America allocated to developing nations was 9.8 million dollars, compared to 3.1 million dollars from Europe and 2.8 million dollars from other nations. Over the following two years, this amount gradually increased in all regions, although it experienced a slight drop of about 0.3 million dollars in 2009 before rising again in 2010. A similar trend can be observed in the total amount donated by all nations, which grew from 15.7 million to 28.1 million, with the exception of a decline of 0.9 million dollars in 2009.

Finally, in 2010, the USA continued to lead the world in terms of total funding provided to developing nations, contributing 20.3 million dollars—three times more than the combined contributions of the EU and other areas, which were 4.1 million and 3.7 million dollars, respectively.
