Belarus: Adjusted net savings, excluding particulate emission damage (current US$)

Key figures

What the numbers say

In 2021, Belarus' adjusted net savings, excluding particulate emission damage (current US$) rose 22.2% on 2020 (from US$7.16 billion to US$8.75 billion).

Across the 27 yearly changes before that (1994 to 2020), the average change was +14.3% and a typical year strayed about 45.6% from that (the standard deviation). This year's change was 0.2 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 111.3% in 2003 and the biggest yearly fall was 50.9% in 1994. The numbers show how large and when, not why; for the cause, look at what happened in that country in those years.

From 2012 to 2021 the straight-line trend is downward, about US$425.34 million a year. A straight line explains 41% of the movement over 10 observed years.
