Exports of cultural goods have increased since 1999-2000, with the value of exports in 2005-06 ($596m) being 55% higher than in 1999-2000. The product group showing the largest increase over this time was Books, magazines etc. which increased from $166m in 1999-2000 to $238m in 2005-06. Some of this increase may be due to inflation rather than increases in production. The value of Heritage services exports decreased over this time from $37m in 1999-2000 to $23m in 2005-06.
