What the numbers say
In 2019, Cuba's GNI (current LCU) rose 3.3% on 2018 (from 98.58 billion to 101.87 billion).
Across the 30 yearly changes before that (1989 to 2018), the average change was +5.7% and a typical year strayed about 7.8% from that (the standard deviation). This year's change was 0.3 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 26.7% in 1994 and the biggest yearly fall was 17.1% in 1991. The numbers show how large and when, not why; for the cause, look at what happened in that country in those years.
From 2010 to 2019 the straight-line trend is upward, about 4.42 billion a year. A straight line explains 100% of the movement over 10 observed years.

A straight-line projection, tested first
Extending that straight line gives about 114.64 billion for 2022. We show this only because the same method, fitted on earlier years, predicted 2017 to 2019 better than "no change" would have: its average miss was 3.43 billion, against 8.56 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.

What this measures
Gross national income 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. This indicator is expressed in current prices, meaning no adjustment has been made to account for price changes over time. This series is expressed in local currency units.
