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 968.57 billion in 2009 and the biggest yearly fall was 665.05 billion in 2005. The numbers show how large and when, not why; for the cause, look at what happened in that country in those years.
From 2007 to 2016 the straight-line trend is upward, about 291.7 billion a year. A straight line explains 85% of the movement over 10 observed years.
