What the numbers say
In 2021, Bhutan's adjusted net savings, excluding particulate emission damage (current US$) fell 19.3% on 2020 (from US$410.59 million to US$331.25 million).
Across the 14 yearly changes before that (2007 to 2020), the average change was +7.9% and a typical year strayed about 38.5% from that (the standard deviation). This year's change was 0.7 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 58% in 2016 and the biggest yearly fall was 57.4% in 2013. 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 there is no clear straight-line trend: a straight line explains 5% of the movement over 10 observed years, so the value is moving around more than it is heading anywhere.
