WTN among the top 10 countries in 1992.
For each country, the top three exports/imports are indicated by the arrows. The countries are placed clockwise in order of total annual export, beginning with the United States. Colors specify the regions; the North America (yellow), Europe (blue), and East Asia (red). Abbreviations are as follows, “USA = United States”, “DEU = Germany”, “JPN = Japan”, “FRA = France”, “GBR = United Kingdom”, “ITA = Italy”, “NLD = Netherlands”, “CAN = Canada”, “BEL-LUX = Belgium-Luxembourg” and “HKG = Hong Kong.”
