IELTS Exports Table April 2021

The table details the rise and fall of exports in billions of Hong Kong dollars
from 2009 to 2010. Looking from an overall perspective, it is readily apparent
that exports displayed an upward trajectory in all categories except clothing
and manufacturing. Telecommunications and metals rose the most, with the
former and equipment constituting the most substantial export quantities
overall.

In 2009, equipment and telecommunications were the largest exports at 10.3


and 7.9 $HK billions, respectively. By 2010, Telecommunications had
overtaken equipment with a 61% surge to 12.7, while equipment grew
marginally by 13% to 11.6.

In terms of less robust exports, both clothing and manufacturing declined


slightly (from 6 to 5 and 5.5 to 4, in turn), while this trend was reversed for
metals, which more than doubled to 5.1 $HK billions. General growth was
reflected in an increase for exports in the aggregate of 20% and a total figure
of 38.4 $HK billions.
