What the numbers say
In 2023, Bolivia's merchandise exports to low- and middle-income economies in Middle East & North Africa (% of total merchandise exports) rose 0.04 percentage points on 2022 (from 0.00962% to 0.05%).
Across the 30 yearly changes before that (1993 to 2022), the average change was −0 percentage points and a typical year strayed about 0.04 percentage points from that (the standard deviation). This year's change was 1.0 standard deviations above that average, so it was larger than a typical year, though not out of the range seen before.
On record, the biggest yearly rise was 0.09 percentage points in 2004 and the biggest yearly fall was 0.13 percentage points in 1988. The numbers show how large and when, not why; for the cause, look at what happened in that country in those years.
From 2014 to 2023 there is no clear straight-line trend: a straight line explains 28% of the movement over 10 observed years, so the value is moving around more than it is heading anywhere.
Worked out from the yearly values above. How the checks work: standard deviation, z-scores and straight-line trends.
