What the numbers say
In 2025, Brunei Darussalam's gross fixed capital formation (current US$) fell 4.8% on 2024 (from US$4.25 billion to US$4.05 billion).
Across the 30 yearly changes before that (1995 to 2024), the average change was +7% and a typical year strayed about 24.4% 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 66.7% in 2002 and the biggest yearly fall was 34.7% in 2014. 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 there is no clear straight-line trend: a straight line explains 6% of the movement over 10 observed years, so the value is moving around more than it is heading anywhere.
