| Value | Year | |
|---|---|---|
| Latest | 2.52% | 2021 |
| Five years earlier | 2.52% | 2016 |
| Ten years earlier | 2.52% | 2011 |
| Highest | 9.5% | 1993 |
| Lowest | 2.52% | 2005 |
| Average since 2012 | 2.52% | 2012–2021 |
| First recorded | 5.7% | 1970 |
Over five years it is unchanged since 2016. Since 1970 it is down 3.18 percentage points from 5.7% in 1970.
In 2021, Congo, Rep.'s adjusted savings, education expenditure (% of GNI) did not change 0 percentage points on 2020 (from 2.52% to 2.52%).
Across the 30 yearly changes before that (1991 to 2020), the average change was −0.14 percentage points and a typical year strayed about 0.89 percentage points from that (the standard deviation). This year's change was 0.2 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 2.77 percentage points in 1993 and the biggest yearly fall was 2.6 percentage points in 1994. 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 there is no clear straight-line trend: a straight line explains less than 1% of the movement over 10 observed years, so the value is moving around more than it is heading anywhere.
Worked out from the yearly values above. How the checks work: standard deviation, z-scores and straight-line trends.
In 2021, Congo, Rep. had the 163rd highest value of the 199 economies reporting that year. Higher is not always better: for some indicators the lowest value is the one to aim for. See the full ranking.
Education expenditure refers to the current operating expenditures in education, including wages and salaries and excluding capital investments in buildings and equipment. 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.
Limitations: Public education expenditures are considered an addition to savings. However, because of the wide variability in the effectiveness of public education expenditures, these figures cannot be construed as the value of investments in human capital. A current expenditure of $1 on education does not necessarily yield $1 of human capital. The calculation should also consider private education expenditure, but data are not available for a large number of countries.
Regional and income-group figures are computed by the World Bank as a weighted average.
