What the numbers say
In 2025, Central African Republic's exports as a capacity to import (constant LCU) rose 38.1% on 2024 (from 120.19 billion to 165.96 billion).
Across the 15 yearly changes before that (2010 to 2024), the average change was +3.7% and a typical year strayed about 14.6% from that (the standard deviation). This year's change was 2.4 standard deviations above that average, so it was unusually large compared with the rest of the record.
On record, the biggest yearly rise was 38.1% in 2025 and the biggest yearly fall was 27% in 2013. 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 28% of the movement over 10 observed years, so the value is moving around more than it is heading anywhere.
