What the numbers say
In 2025, Brunei Darussalam's GNI, linked series (current LCU) fell 4.1% on 2024 (from 21.15 billion to 20.29 billion).
Across the 30 yearly changes before that (1995 to 2024), the average change was +3.2% and a typical year strayed about 11.4% from that (the standard deviation). This year's change was 0.6 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 22.2% in 2011 and the biggest yearly fall was 23.2% 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 2016 to 2025 the straight-line trend is upward, about 471.14 million a year. A straight line explains 60% of the movement over 10 observed years.

What this measures
Gross national income is the total income earned by all residents within an economic territory during an accounting period. It is equal to gross domestic product plus earned income receivable from abroad minus earned income payable abroad. This series has been linked to produce a consistent time series to counteract breaks in series over time due to changes in base years, source data and methodologies. Thus, it may not be comparable with other national accounts series in the database for historical years. 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.
