What the numbers say
In 2024, Djibouti's ICT service exports (BoP, current US$) fell 22.4% on 2023 (from US$103.74 million to US$80.52 million).
Across the 30 yearly changes before that (1994 to 2023), the average change was +25.3% and a typical year strayed about 105.2% from that (the standard deviation). This year's change was 0.5 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 575.9% in 2013 and the biggest yearly fall was 24.6% 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 2015 to 2024 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.
