The line graph compares the proportion of goods exported from Australia to four different nations including Japan, The United States of America, China and India between the years 1990 and 2012.
Overall, it is clear that export to China and India swelled over the two decades; albeit at different rates. That, however, opposes the figures for Australian trade with Japan, which experienced a somewhat linear decline over the same period of time. Moreover, export to the US changed in a volatile manner over the course of the years.
Trade with the Chinese expanded in a gradual and unremarkable manner between the years 1990 and 2000 (roughly 3 percent to 5 percent respectively). The figure doubled over the following five years to reach 10 percent. Furthermore the proportion of good exported ballooned to reach 25 percent by the year 2010, continiung a stable incline to reach roughly 27% by the year 2012. Additionaly, Australian export to India remained unaltered for the first decade at a mere 3 percent.Futhermore , that value saw a modest rise with a less pronounced growth pattern over the following 10 years, from approximately 3 percent to 7 percent. However, the percentage of trade took a slight lull to conclude at 5 percent in 2012.
Over the course of twenty two years, Australian business with Japan experienced a steady decline in a somewhat uniform fashion. The figures started at around 26 percent in 1990 and dropped to about 18 percent over 10 years. That percentage remained unchanged for 5 years and continued declining until the period conculded. Finally, export to America experienced volatility over the twenty two years, where it wavered from around 11 percent and roughly 7 percent between 1990 and 2000, respectively, and then to a steaper decline to reach an all time low of 5 percent in 2010.
