What the numbers say
In 2024, Afghanistan's IMF repurchases and charges (TDS, current US$) rose 8.6% on 2023 (from US$27.96 million to US$30.36 million).
Across the 17 yearly changes before that (2007 to 2023), the average change was +99.7% and a typical year strayed about 334% from that (the standard deviation). This year's change was 0.3 standard deviations below 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 1,359.8% in 2012 and the biggest yearly fall was 66.3% in 2011. 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 2% of the movement over 10 observed years, so the value is moving around more than it is heading anywhere.
