What the numbers say
In 2021, Cameroon's adjusted savings, energy depletion (% of GNI) rose 1.04 percentage points on 2020 (from 1.29% to 2.33%).
Across the 30 yearly changes before that (1991 to 2020), the average change was −0.23 percentage points and a typical year strayed about 1.43 percentage points from that (the standard deviation). This year's change was 0.9 standard deviations above 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 3.76 percentage points in 1989 and the biggest yearly fall was 6.92 percentage points in 1986. The numbers show how large and when, not why; for the cause, look at what happened in that country in those years.
From 2012 to 2021 the straight-line trend is downward, about 0.24 percentage points a year. A straight line explains 46% of the movement over 10 observed years.

What this measures
Energy depletion is the ratio of the value of the stock of energy resources to the remaining reserve lifetime (capped at 25 years). It covers coal, crude oil, and natural gas. This indicator is expressed as a percentage of Gross National Income (GNI) which 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.
Regional and income-group figures are computed by the World Bank as a weighted average.
