What the numbers say
In 2024, Afghanistan's export value index (2015 = 100) rose 16.9 on 2023 (from 82.2 to 99.1).
Across the 18 yearly changes before that (2006 to 2023), the average change was +1.18 and a typical year strayed about 20.79 from that (the standard deviation). This year's change was 0.8 standard deviations above that average, so it was an ordinary year: it sits within the range of normal year-to-year movement.
On record, the biggest yearly rise was 28.3 in 2017 and the biggest yearly fall was 61.6 in 2022. The numbers show how large and when, not why; for the cause, look at what happened in that country in those years.
From 2015 to 2024 there is no clear straight-line trend: a straight line explains 10% of the movement over 10 observed years, so the value is moving around more than it is heading anywhere.
