In 2023, East Asia & Pacific (excluding high income)'s domestic private health expenditure (% of current health expenditure) rose 0.54 percentage points on 2022 (from 42.69% to 43.23%).
Across the 22 yearly changes before that (2001 to 2022), the average change was −1.37 percentage points and a typical year strayed about 1.56 percentage points 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 1.66 percentage points in 2016 and the biggest yearly fall was 3.96 percentage points in 2008. 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 17% of the movement over 10 observed years, so the value is moving around more than it is heading anywhere.
