The table illustrates the changes in the value of certain products in the years 2009 and 2010.
Overall, it can be seen that equipment are the most valuable exports by a wide margin overall. In the same vein, metal exports saw most significant change during the two years, far surpassing any other products.
Looking at the graph, we can see that the sales of equipment in 2009 and 2010 – amounting to 10.3 billion and 11.3 billion respectively – consistently made up nearly a third of the total exports during both years. This dominance was only challenged in 2010 by Telecommunication, when the export value in this sector reached 12.7 billion, which outstripped Equipment by slightly over 1%, and represented a 61% rise compared to 2009. Metals also saw a major boost in value during the period, with an astronomical increase of 122%, from 2.3 billion in 2009 to 5.1 billion in 2010.
Among all export products, only two saw an overall decrease in value during the same period. Clothing saw its overall decrease in its value by 17%, corresponding to a drop from 6 billion to 5 billion. The Manufacturing sector suffered an even more pronounced drop, where its exports went from 5.5 down to just 4 billion – 10% more severe than that of clothing.
