The table illustrates the profit of 5 exported products with an overall assessment between 1997 and 2010.

The total export values of all 5 categories rose from 32$ to 38.4$ billion to, at 20%. The figure for metals increased 122%, more than 6 times higher compared to the overall profit. In 1997 the figure for equipment and telecommunity were 10.3$ and 7.9$ billion, after which both of them climbed to 11.6$ and 12.7$ billion, increasing 13% and 61% respectively.
