What the numbers say

On record, the biggest yearly rise was 4.29 billion in 2008 and the biggest yearly fall was 4.27 billion in 2015. 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 16% of the movement over 10 observed years, so the value is moving around more than it is heading anywhere.
