What the numbers say
In 2025, Dominica's net foreign assets (current LCU) rose 172.13 million on 2024 (from 877.64 million to 1.05 billion).
Across the 30 yearly changes before that (1995 to 2024), the average change was +29.25 million and a typical year strayed about 120.14 million from that (the standard deviation). This year's change was 1.2 standard deviations above that average, so it was larger than a typical year, though not out of the range seen before.
On record, the biggest yearly rise was 341.63 million in 2016 and the biggest yearly fall was 303.01 million 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 23% of the movement over 10 observed years, so the value is moving around more than it is heading anywhere.
