What the numbers say
In 2024, Botswana's IFC, private nonguaranteed (NFL, current US$) rose US$12.43 million on 2023 (from US$0 to US$12.43 million).
Across the 30 yearly changes before that (1994 to 2023), the average change was +US$0 and a typical year strayed about US$13.94 million from that (the standard deviation). This year's change was 0.9 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 US$48.53 million in 2022 and the biggest yearly fall was US$25 million in 2018. 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 less than 1% of the movement over 10 observed years, so the value is moving around more than it is heading anywhere.
