What the numbers say
In 2023, Central African Republic's financial Intermediary Services Indirectly Measured (FISIM) (current LCU) rose 8.3% on 2022 (from 14.72 billion to 15.94 billion).
Across the 13 yearly changes before that (2010 to 2022), the average change was +9.4% and a typical year strayed about 17.5% from that (the standard deviation). This year's change was 0.1 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 46.3% in 2012 and the biggest yearly fall was 13.1% 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 2014 to 2023 the straight-line trend is upward, about 619.07 million a year. A straight line explains 90% of the movement over 10 observed years.
Worked out from the yearly values above. How the checks work: standard deviation, z-scores and straight-line trends.
A straight-line projection, tested first
Extending that straight line gives about 16.97 billion for 2026. We show this only because the same method, fitted on earlier years, predicted 2021 to 2023 better than "no change" would have: its average miss was 973.43 million, against 1.56 billion for assuming no change. Treat it as a continuation of the recent pattern, not a forecast of events: it cannot see a recession, a policy change or a revision to the data.
