The provided line graphs illustrate the Australian dollars’ changes regarding Australian’s trade with China, Japan and the USA between 2004 and 2009.
Overall, Australian dollars underwent an upward trend throughout the period, albeit at divergent speeds. Interestingly, China showed the greatest increase in both imports and exports.
Focusing on the first chart, this experienced continuous growth over the period. Starting at 20 billion, the amount of money in imports with China rose significantly to 30 billion in 2008 before remaining unchanged until the last year. Likewise, the figure for exports followed an identical trajectory, rising from about 10 billion to over 30 billion in 2009.
Turning to the remaining categories, both exports and imports initiated at approximately 20 billion in Japan. While the latter stabilized until the end of the period, the former was much fluctuating, with soaring to reach a peak at 40 billion in 2008 and subsequently falling to 30 billion. In stark contrast, 20 billion of imports and 10 billion of exports experienced modest fluctuations in the final year.
