The given table illustrates the changes in the values of several exported products between 2009 and 2010.
It is clear that while the exported revenues of equipment, telecommunications and metals goods experienced a significant increase, the opposite was true for the remaining categories. Additionally, the value of exports for metals witnessed the most striking change.
As can be seen from the table, in 2009, revenue generated from export of equipment goods was the highest, at 10.3 billion, while the figures for telecommunications and metals were 7.9 billion and 2.3 billion, respectively. In the next year, the export earnings from equipment grew slightly to 11.6 billion, which was equivalent to an increase of 13%. The most significant growth was seen in the figure for metals goods, at 5.1 billion in 2010, representing a 112% increase. The data for the export of telecommunications products experienced a considerable rise to 12.7 billion, with a 61% increase over the period.
Looking at the table in more detail, the value of clothing exports in 2009 accounted for 6 billion, which was 0.5 billion higher than the figure for manufacturing categories. In 2010, there was a slight decline to 5 billion in the exported revenue of clothing, which was equivalent to a decrease of 17%. The same trend can be seen in the data for manufacturing goods, which witnessed a decrease to 4 billion, representing a 27% fall. In conclusion, five products experienced a considerable rise from 32 billion in 2009 to 38.4 billion only in one year, which was equivalent to an increase of 20%.
