What the numbers say
In 2018, Ecuador's s&P Global Equity Indices (annual % change) rose 44.89 percentage points on 2017 (from -22.29% to 22.6%).
Across the 20 yearly changes before that (1998 to 2017), the average change was −0.68 percentage points and a typical year strayed about 36.77 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 110.1 percentage points in 2000 and the biggest yearly fall was 62.02 percentage points in 2002. The numbers show how large and when, not why; for the cause, look at what happened in that country in those years.
From 2009 to 2018 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.
What this measures
S&P Global Equity Indices measure the U.S. dollar price change in the stock markets covered by the S&P BMI country indices.
Limitations: Markets included in Standard & Poor's emerging markets category vary widely in level of development. Thus, it is best to look at the entire category to identify the most significant market trends. It is also useful to remember that stock market trends may be distorted by currency conversions, especially when a currency has registered a significant devaluation.
