On record, the biggest yearly rise was 7.44 billion in 2017 and the biggest yearly fall was 2.85 billion in 2016. The numbers show how large and when, not why; for the cause, look at what happened in that country in those years.
From 2016 to 2025 the straight-line trend is upward, about 1.91 billion a year. A straight line explains 90% of the movement over 10 observed years.
