What the numbers say
In 2024, Cambodia's public and publicly guaranteed debt service (% of exports of goods, services and primary income) fell 0.08 percentage points on 2023 (from 1.76% to 1.68%).
Across the 30 yearly changes before that (1994 to 2023), the average change was +0.06 percentage points and a typical year strayed about 0.18 percentage points from that (the standard deviation). This year's change was 0.7 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 0.54 percentage points in 1995 and the biggest yearly fall was 0.6 percentage points in 2000. 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 0.08 percentage points a year. A straight line explains 78% of the movement over 10 observed years.
