Huhu!

Exports flying... stock markets flying!!!

Good times are back yo!

Second highest monthly value recorded so far this year!

I updated my 'exports' table and this is what I have to show...

Err.... yes, July's exports of 55.426 Billion is the second highest monthly value but... but... are you impressed?

Doesn't the numbers look a bit lacklustre?

But when compare with 2009.... the numbers looked super good!

But for some... the comparison above is rather pointless because in 2009... everything pretty much was terrible. So any comparison made against 2009 numbers sure would look super good.

So the 2008 numbers is added into the comparison...



How?

Looks like 2008 numbers are much better except for March.
