Brazil: Export value index (2015 = 100)

Key figures

What the numbers say

In 2024, Brazil's export value index (2015 = 100) fell 1.5 on 2023 (from 181.9 to 180.4).

Across the 18 yearly changes before that (2006 to 2023), the average change was +6.58 and a typical year strayed about 17.39 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 38.3 in 2021 and the biggest yearly fall was 23.5 in 2009. 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 the straight-line trend is upward, about 10.4 a year. A straight line explains 85% of the movement over 10 observed years.
