What the numbers say
In 2025, Dominica's broad money (current LCU) rose 10% on 2024 (from 1.44 billion to 1.58 billion).
Across the 30 yearly changes before that (1995 to 2024), the average change was +4.9% and a typical year strayed about 6.7% from that (the standard deviation). This year's change was 0.8 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 43.9% in 1979 and the biggest yearly fall was 11.8% in 2019. The numbers show how large and when, not why; for the cause, look at what happened in that country in those years.
From 2016 to 2025 there is no clear straight-line trend: a straight line explains 24% of the movement over 10 observed years, so the value is moving around more than it is heading anywhere.
