The bar chart supplied illustrates the proportion of the amount of budget allocated for roads and transports by government in distinctive nations from 1990 to 2005.
Generally, all categories witnessed a downward trend except for that of USA over the period shown. Furthermore, the Portuguese expenditure is the most among remaining figures while the opposite was true for the UK's counterpart.
To begin with, it is readily apparent that the ratio of the amount of money spent on roads and transports in Portugal accounted for the lion's share, which stood at around 27% in 1990. Following was the Italian figure constituted about 22%, which almost doubled that of the UK and USA 's group standing at 10% and 11% respectively.
Throughout the 15-year course, there was a substantial decrease by approximately 7% in the Portuguese figure. However, it still came in first place, and roughly equivalent to that of the Italian counterpart which accounted for a fifth. Similar trend was repeated in the UK's category, with around 4% less of the money spent on road and transport, and occupied the minority. In contrast, the year 2005 experienced a marginal growth to 15% in the expenses of government for roads and transport in the USA.
