What the numbers say
In 2025, Estonia's GNI per capita (current LCU) rose 1,579 on 2024 (from 28,452 to 30,031).
Across the 30 yearly changes before that (1995 to 2024), the average change was +903.08 and a typical year strayed about 844.51 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 3,296 in 2022 and the biggest yearly fall was 1,512 in 2009. 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 the straight-line trend is upward, about 1,523 a year. A straight line explains 98% of the movement over 10 observed years.

A straight-line projection, tested first
Extending that straight line gives about 33,903 for 2028. We show this only because the same method, fitted on earlier years, predicted 2023 to 2025 better than "no change" would have: its average miss was 1,659, against 2,197 for assuming no change. Treat it as a continuation of the recent pattern, not a forecast of events: it cannot see a recession, a policy change or a revision to the data.
