What the numbers say
In 2024, Algeria's changes in inventories (current LCU) rose 481.78 billion on 2023 (from 1.65 trillion to 2.13 trillion).
Across the 30 yearly changes before that (1994 to 2023), the average change was +54.14 billion and a typical year strayed about 156.71 billion from that (the standard deviation). This year's change was 2.7 standard deviations above that average, so it was unusually large compared with the rest of the record.
On record, the biggest yearly rise was 496.33 billion in 2022 and the biggest yearly fall was 291.74 billion in 2020. 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 3% of the movement over 10 observed years, so the value is moving around more than it is heading anywhere.
Worked out from the yearly values above. How the checks work: standard deviation, z-scores and straight-line trends.
