What the numbers say
In 2023, Brunei Darussalam's domestic general government health expenditure per capita, PPP (current international $) rose 421.03 on 2022 (from 1,334 to 1,755).
Across the 22 yearly changes before that (2001 to 2022), the average change was −11.48 and a typical year strayed about 130.27 from that (the standard deviation). This year's change was 3.3 standard deviations above that average, so it was unusually large compared with the rest of the record.
On record, the biggest yearly rise was 421.03 in 2023 and the biggest yearly fall was 250.86 in 2011. 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 30% 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.
