What the numbers say
In 2024, Bolivia's gross savings (current LCU) rose 2.9% on 2023 (from 50.77 billion to 52.26 billion).
Across the 30 yearly changes before that (1994 to 2023), the average change was +13.8% and a typical year strayed about 22.7% from that (the standard deviation). This year's change was 0.5 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 10,121.6% in 1985 and the biggest yearly fall was 31.6% in 2015. 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 19% of the movement over 10 observed years, so the value is moving around more than it is heading anywhere.

What this measures
Savings is an amount that represents the part of disposable income (adjusted for the change in pension entitlements) that is not spent on final consumption. Gross savings are calculated as gross national income less total consumption, plus net transfers. This indicator is expressed in current prices, meaning no adjustment has been made to account for price changes over time. This series is expressed in local currency units.
