What the numbers say
In 2021, Colombia's adjusted savings, energy depletion (current US$) rose 143.8% on 2020 (from US$4.5 billion to US$10.96 billion).
Across the 30 yearly changes before that (1991 to 2020), the average change was +10.9% and a typical year strayed about 43.1% from that (the standard deviation). This year's change was 3.1 standard deviations above that average, so it was unusually large compared with the rest of the record.
On record, the biggest yearly rise was 406% in 1974 and the biggest yearly fall was 59.1% 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 2012 to 2021 the straight-line trend is downward, about US$1.58 billion a year. A straight line explains 50% 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 in current prices, meaning no adjustment has been made to account for price changes over time. This indicator is expressed in United States dollars.
