China and the United States seem to be very popular in the trading business! Agriculture, industry and service also appear to be the three main ways many countries make their money. France is the 5th largest economy in the world, while Australia is the 13th largest. I never knew France had such a large economy!
ReplyDeleteThat's really cool! It's weird how so many countries use China and their main trading business whereas Italy uses Germany as THEIR main trading source. France and Italy have the same kind of money. Their both called euros! However, the Italian euros are worth 1.32 US dollars. Another difference, Italy has $1.63 trillion GDP so, France earns much more.
ReplyDeleteWow Kiana that is very interesting! It seems that our countries have something in common, one of the bigger job industries is agriculture. In Spain, most people have that as a part time job or as a full time job. But, some how everyone is usually closely related to a farmer one way or an other! Like Amanda said in her comment, China and the US are very popular for trading! It seems that France has a fairly good economy, from the different industries to all the money being taken in from them. I can't wait to learn more about France!
