Taklam Gid Al-Tamara and Al-Jajark (15) The revenues of Al-Jajark in the year 1500-1501 are detailed as follows: Revenues Imports Exports Other Revenues Tobacco Total The total revenue for 1500-1501 was £107,000, an increase of 10% over the total for 1940-1941. This total exceeds the exports and imports, excluding goods that passed through or returned from Egypt, or currency. The total for 1940-1941 was £60,000.

Imports in 1940-1941 were £100,000, compared to £100,000 in 1940-1941. Exports in 1940-1941 were £58,000, compared to £56,000 in 1940-1941. The value of imported currency was £18,000, and the value of exported currency was £10,000. The net import of currency was £8,000.

Imports It is said that imports in 1940-1941 were higher than in 1940-1941. Generally, prices in 1940-1941 increased in the first seven months of the year, but fell slightly in August, September, and October. They recovered in November and then fell again in December. However, the net decline in the last five months did not exceed £2,000. Imports of cloth were more affected by financial difficulties than others, and the value of imports in the mentioned period decreased by £20,000.

This decrease was attributed to the previous year's figures and this deficit was reflected in the accounts due to the suspension of payments by some merchants. Metals also experienced some decline at the end of the year, partly attributed to falling prices, which is a common occurrence.
