Cyprus: Out-of-pocket expenditure per capita, PPP (current international $)

Key figures

What the numbers say

In 2023, Cyprus' out-of-pocket expenditure per capita, PPP (current international $) fell 5.58 on 2022 (from 819.77 to 814.19).

Across the 22 yearly changes before that (2001 to 2022), the average change was +8.4 and a typical year strayed about 107.9 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 220.73 in 2008 and the biggest yearly fall was 263.21 in 2020. 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 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.

Worked out from the yearly values above. How the checks work: standard deviation, z-scores and straight-line trends.
