On record, the biggest yearly rise was 60% in 2011 and the biggest yearly fall was 26% in 2009. 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 the straight-line trend is upward, about 807.85 million a year. A straight line explains 75% of the movement over 10 observed years.
